E90 LCI third brake light R&R
I searched the various forums to understand how to re-install the third brake
light. Unfortunately, the few descriptions typically said, 'remove it' or 'replace- ment is the reverse of removal'. Not helpful. As my car had developed an obnoxious rattle over the last three months that sounded like it was coming from the dash, it took having a passenger in the rear seat to identify the source - the third brake light. Specifically, it was the light assembly mounting. There are two (2) black plastic clips that mount the assembly to mount points that are glued to the rear window. I found my lamp assembly partially dis- connected with one of the clips lying inside the hinged cover that mounts to the headliner. The next quest was to figure out how the clips worked. Initially I tried to mount the lamp assembly to the inside of the cover. realoem provided a partial picture, though w/out the clips displayed. It took fiddling around with it and trial & error to discover how and where to re-attach the third brake lamp assembly. RATTLE GONE!!! |
