Golden Eagle with another maybe silly question
« on: June 11, 2014, 07:57:01 PM »
 :eaglebig:
 :banghead:Back again, this time i need to know... how in the world do i get into the taillight's to change them? I don't see any external screws, and on the inside all i see are riveted bolts once i take off the plastic cover near the bottom of the hatch.. i'd assume that how the covers are put on. How do i change these tailights?... could anyone help me out here? Or am i just being silly.... Please and thanks...

There are bolts and nuts that hold the taillights in,  6 on each side I think.  You have to remove all of the plastic at the back of the interior of the wagon to get to them, and maybe even loosen up the plastic along the sides.  Good luck.

I had already taken the back panel off right below the hatch, and tried to twist one of the taillights that were broken from behind to twist out, it didn't budge so i though i was doing something wrong, they were just stuck. . I ended up getting them out and replaced, But thanks for the reply.
