Instructions for Removing the Rear Light

Model: Subaru Forester SG, MK 2 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Tail light

If there is a dent near the rear light, you need to remove it to carry out the repair effectively. Open the boot and remove the grille located directly in front of the light; then unscrew the retaining nuts of the light itself: some of these are difficult to reach, so it is necessary to remove the side carpet trim, which requires first removing the interior carpet and the plastic mouldings. Once the light is removed, proceed with the bodywork repair: sand down any rust present, fill, sand again, and finally apply primer before painting.
