Rear License Trim Replacement

NOTE: Put on gloves to protect your hands.

1. Remove the trunk lid trim.




2. From inside the trunk lid, remove the nuts securing the rear license trim (A), disconnect the back-up light connectors (B), then disconnect the rear view camera harness connector (C).




3. Gently close the trunk lid, and pull the rear license trim (A) out to detach the clips, then remove the trim. Take care not to scratch the trunk lid.




4. If necessary, remove the screws and hooks (A) from the rear license trim (B), then remove the rear license trim molding (C).
5. Install the trim in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
- Check if the clips are damaged or stress-whitened, and if necessary, replace them with new ones.
- Make sure the back-up light connectors and the rear view camera harness connector are plugged in properly.
- Push the clips into place securely.
