hi all.
as per the title, can anyone tell me the procedure for removing the chrome tailgate handle 'cowling / cover that encloses the handle, number plate lights and rear view camera?
there are 2 visible torque screws either side of the number plate lights, which when loosened give a little movement on the cover, but not much...
the reason being is when i was replacing a blown number plate bulb, the connector for one side of the bulb came fully out and when i try to replace the 'blade' of the connector it is obviously not inserting into where it gets the power from...
there are no visible means of how to remove the inside cover of the tailgate to gain access from that side.
any helps or diagrams greatly appreciated.
cheers in advance.
