Have you ever taken off the red reflectors? Need advice?

My car was in the body shop a few months back due to some stuff on the rear.. Anyway, ever since I got it back, the passenger side reflector has been loose, but I thought it was held on by just double sided tape. So I would just press it on really hard and it would seem to hold a lot better.. But I just looked it up and it seems like there might be a couple screw that hold it on.

Anyway, this morning I was driving and when I parked, I realized that the reflector is not missing. I guess it flew off.. So should I go back to the body shop and ask them to order one since it was loose to begin with? Or just order one? Does anyone have a part number so I can order one from Russell?

Basically I want to know if these could just pop off it they re-installed correctly..

This is the part I am looking for:





Anybody got a part #? I just PM'd Russell so hopefully he will get back with me.. Does anyone think the Lancer reflector would work? I might be able to just find one at a junk yard and take on off of it..

Just did a quick google search and saw that you do in fact need to take the rear bumper off in order to get them out.

thats strange that has happened??

Unfortunately you do need to remove the rear bumper, for a quick job you can unscrew one side and bend the corner away to gain access to change the reflector. Sounds horrible when you are pulling the rear bumper off due to the popper clamp/grip thingys.

I've blacked out my red reflectors with black transparent tinting spray as I hate them. (they even still reflect at night too lol)
