I'm trying to change the gasket on the part of the taillight that goes
up with the trunk. The driver's side one leaks water into the trunk
after a rain. I open the trunk and water pours in from the light
assembly.
I got a replacement gasket, supposedly for that assembly, but I can't
get the part off. There seem to be four bolts inside the trunk that
hold it on, but removing those only loosens it, it seems like there is
a fifth bolt. I think I feel it, but it's blocked by the trunk metal
and I can't figure out how to get it off. I don't even think an offset
nut driver would get at that part.
Anyone know how to do this? |

Thanks, it doesn't show me the location of the last nut, but it does
show me that I have the wrong gasket. They sold me the one for the
part of the light that's not on the trunk lid. So I'll ask the
maintenance folks when I go to change the part. >> Stay informed about: 91 Accord tail light removal help please |

Hopefully this diagram from the service manual will be helpful.

Thanks, that does help. There is no fifth nut; it appears that I need
to remove a light connector. Now I just need the correct gasket. >> Stay informed about: 91 Accord tail light removal help please |
