high level tailgate brake light

[frank rabbets]

I have checked through 2 x workshop manuals and owners handbook but can't find out how to remove this light. I removed the 2 screws from inside and pulled but chipped the lens so stopped.Does anyone know the full procedure? Amazed I havn't damaged the 100 yet. I reversed straight over the axle stands 'till they were 45 degrees. Left foot on brake and floored it then foot off brake and recovered with no damage. Then today put the axle stands in the garage doorway to take advantage of the sloping concrete apron outside but wedged the lc under the door lintel which I forgot was there. Convinced I would need a new roof but miraculously not even a mark.

From what I've read on ih8mud they can be so well stuck on by the OEM foam gasket that they often break when trying to remove them Why did you want to remove it?

The tailgate is a bit rusty in the bottom/outside so I was going to check for a leak. However looking inside there is no rust so I think it's probably OK.
