Hello,

The left rear light of my countryman was broken on a parking lot two days ago :( .
Would you know how to access and change it ? I opened the trap door, but it's too small to access to all the screws.

Any help and picture would be great ! Thanks a lot !

 

GeoffreyM briefly describes the process in THIS post in the Modifications::Interior/Exterior::Blackout Baby! thread.

 

Thanks. Seems he did it through the small trap door. The two center 9 mm are not easy to access, i'll try but i'm afraid of loosing parts. If anyone knows how to remove the full panel, your help would be much appreciated

 

You'll probably need to master forum searches and well as the RealOEM site to help answer all your questions. Just posting a question out there on such a new MINI model can return the sound of crickets chirping.

HERE is the parts diagram from the realOEM.com website. The press-fit plastic rivet (#6) is easily removed but it looks like you going to have to deal with at least 7 "Axial securing clips" (#15), whatever they are!



RealOEM.org is a great resource for seeing how things are put together.

Good luck!

 

Thanks a lot Koopah

Looks like I'll need to go through the trap door...
