Is there a trick to getting the rear bumper reflectors installed?
I would guess that the mechanisms are the same, if not the shape, between the different variants of LCI, if any, and M sport vs non M sport.
My '15 M sport lost its driver's side rear bumper reflector somewhere, I'm guessing that it was either broken, and/or not fully seated after some kind of minor dealer-grade prep work on the rear bumper. I got a new one and I can see that it 'slides' in and towards the driver's side, and then a spring clip on the passenger side of the reflector retains a solid hook against a slot in the bumper. But without forcing it I can't get it to pop in, so I wanted to bring it up here and be sure there isn't some other trick. Anyone deal with this before? |

FWIW, my reflectors required no manipulation to get back on. Just a slightly firm press and they snapped in pretty easily. |

Yeah, I'd start with prying off the other side. You shouldn't have to pry too hard either. Mine both come off without much effort. It shouldn't feel as if you're going to break it.
