When I purchased my car, there was a dealer installed Contour spoiler and I was wondering if anybody knew how to take out the current brake light under the rear window out. I have gotten to the point where is was just the plastic housing, but I couldn't figure out how to get that off without using the good ol fashoned way of a big hammer. Are there screws holding it down because I can't see them. Any suggestions would be nice and pictures would be even better. Thanks

Read the owners manual, the section on how to change the 3rd brake light bulb. IIRC, there is clips holding it in. Def read the manual, i know it is there. The whole housing comes out, only the wire clip will be left.

There are screws that come up from under the package tray.
You do know that removing it completely will leave a black loop on the glass. There is also the possible chance of color fade on the package tray where the assembly was. Just disable it and call it good.

yea mine too. To remove it just jump into the back seat and pull it towards you. It will come loose and disconect it from the power cable. At least thats how i did it on mine.
