alright so first off your probably going to think im a dumbass for this but, i was trying to install a third brake light decal by sliding it through the small space between the brake light and rear windshield. i had it a little off so i wanted to retry and tried to pull it out with the tip of a sticky note... one thing led to another and now theres a sticky note stuck in the area between the windshield and brake light. does anyone know how to remove the plastic holder of the brake light or anything that could help me. i got this car about a week ago so im freaking out and this has ruined my day. any help would be appreciated greatly.

 

..

 

check in the owners manual for how to change the bulb....odds are you access it from the speaker deck in the trunk

 

yeah i think it says to pull the bulb out but not the plastic part or case for it

 

Dude! I had the same exact problem. I tried everything I could but nothing worked...so the only option I had left was to remove the rear windshield. It was a PITA but I learned my lesson. Good luck!

 

 

 

yeah thats what i was trying also but those bolts seem to be stuck on there pretty well and i couldnt get either of them to budge, also the strut bars (i think thats what they are) are kind of in the way so i cant get a good straight shot with a socket wrench... maybe i should just take it to a mitsubishi dealer and see if they can do the trick. Ha im guessing i'll be laughing about how worked up i got about a sticky note in a few days.

 

ok don"t go to the dealer it very easy. if your socket doesn't fit because of the torsion bars. go and by a 10mm wrench. it will take a few turns but when it getts loose use your fingers and get them off. unplug your light and hop inside the car and pull it out. next time just put it on the window instead or not at all.

 

alright ill try again tonight or tomorrow, just last time it seemed like no matter what i did the bolts wouldnt budge. I'll report back when/if i get it out hah.
