Well went and got my windows tinted today and after a 22 hour wait for the guy to do it they come in and tell me that they broke the third brake light while trying to remove it so they could put the tint behind it.They gave me a discount on the tint job but now all I have is the light bar sitting in the back window,just wondering if anybody has a clue what I could do to make a new mount for it or should I just find one in a junk yard/dealership. 
Will Post some pics of tint tommrow (hopefully smaller)

They wouldn't replace it and really didn't feel like dealing with them.The discount they gave me should get a new one if not then I can defintly get one from the junk yard.Just trying to see if anybody had any "custom" ways to make one that looks good,maybe a little smaller than OEM.

Nah, go to a junkyard. That is the easiest, and cheapest. If you want to make it look neat, you can get decals that go over it and say Contour or something.

Me too, I just dont understand how some shops can be so careless. Oh well, at least you got a discount.

Super Glue and Duck Tape is a mans bestfriend.  No not really, best bet is to go to junk yard and find replacement.

Something similar happened to mine when I got my windows done. When the guy went to take it out, it stress cracked all over the place, and in a few places broke all the way through.
He took it out and glued it all back together, and I can't even tell that anything happened to it. I wouldn't doubt for a second that being exposed to the sun for ~6 years helped weaken up that plastic a little.

Just pulled one from a local junk yard after spending most of the day on the phone I finally found one that matched my interior(what I was worried about).Where can I get the decals for the light,does Parkedcar make them?

He might, not sure, try PMing him. Most of the ones I have seen were on Ebay.

While you're at it, paint the rear with some Kryon Fusion black so it matches your tint.
