Audi A4 Third Brake Light

This is a great vid on removing these!

A little update...  Have a 2015 A4 in the shop right now.  And that trick did nothing to help get it out.

Cut around the bastard then.

I have no issue with those lights. I pop the back of the headliner. Then i grab it by the very front edge with both hands and pull it a little at a time on each side. Just back and forth til it comes off.

I can get em out.  Its just they're a pain in the ass and fragile.  Just thought that trick might help someone.

Will this work on 2015 Audi A3 sedan?

Sit in the back seat facing forward. Then slide your fingers in between the plastic and the glass. Know that that plastic is extraordinarily brittle and if you pull down toward you it will crack. Once you have your fingers on both sides of the plastic pull it back parallel with the back glass. The first bit of slide is the sketchiest part because it seems like it doesn't want to slide, but it will. Then take your 90 pick and detach the cord.

When you put it back in approach it the same way you took it off. You'll have to pull the headliner down a bit to get the last bit of plastic under the headliner. Just remember when your sliding it never never ever pull down forward and backward only. I cracked two of these before I got a great feel for them.
