Break light on OEM spoiler broke down, need help to take it off
Break light on OEM spoiler broke down, need help to take it off
Hi guys,
so the break light on my OEM wing completely broke down, and fell off pretty much. This has been gradually happening since last summer but last week the second screw gave in as well and the whole light is now "hanging". I need to know how do I unhook it from the wing so I can take it off for now. Here is what I have:

Where is the little switch to unhook it? Is it in the wing somehow? How do I get to it? Please helppp, and please be as specific and as "non-technical" as possible since I'm a girl and I can barely check the tire pressure on my own
Here is how it broke down:

Ouch....looks horrible. In order for you to remove the spoiler, you'll need to remove the carpeted lining on the trunk. Here's the schematic for the spoiler:

If you're not confident in replace the led bar yourself, I would advise taking it to the dealer and having them do the work. This is a defect and even tho warranty's out, they may be able to do something for you. Worse case you remove the led bar and replace it with a cover.

I will try to call them tomorrow, I just wanted to unhook the led bar so it is not hanging constantly and I can actually drive the car.
This is all pretty rediculous I can't believe that the car can just start falling apart like that, this all happened last week when I was away and no one drove the car for a whole week

So I just spoke with the dealership and they said that if it doesn't look like it has been hit by anything it should be covered under warranty so I made an appointment for this Saturday. Until then I will use my good old friend the scotch tape and tape the darn thing back on ... my car is going to be so ghetoooo
but oh welll ... you gotta do what you gotta do
