b. Disconnect the center stop lamp connector.
2. REMOVE CENTER STOP LAMP ASSY
a. Remove the 2 bolts and stop lamp assy.
3. REMOVE REAR SPOILER CLIP N0.1
a. Use a drill which tip is less than Dia 4 mm (0.16 in.).
b. Tape the drill tip as shown in the illustration.
Dimension (A): 5 mm (0.20 in.)
HINT: In order not to drill too deeply, tape the drill tip.
c. Gently and vertically place the drill tip onto the rivet, cut the rivet flanges, and then remove the rivet.
NOTE:
-
Placing the drill tip strongly will turn the rivet together with the drill, and so the rivet will not be cut.
-
Prizing the hole with a drill can lead to damage to the rivet hole or the drill itself.
-
Be careful in undertaking this task as the cut rivet is hot.
d. Remove the 2 spoiler clips from the back door panel.
