Removing The Rear Bezel from A '94 Corolla Sedan: Help Please

The gasket often forms a glue-like seal, holding a lamp bezel to the body. Be careful not to break, and work from one end towards the middle. It should come out. s

Hi,

Thanks for help; appreciate it.

Are you verifying that it is actually held on by only 2 screws ?

I ask, because the rubber gasket is totally free, yet it seems there is something else "restraining" it.

Thanks again, Bob

NOPE, just generically-speaking. Glad you asked, s

Peel back the trunk liner that covers the rear fender area and you will see a single fastener, either 8 or 10 mm head, I think it is a nut. Remove that then tap the tailight housing sideways to remove. (Tap the left housing to the left, or if it is the right housing, then tap to the right)

PS it sounds like you are trying to remove a taillight housing, because that is where the bulbs are -- but you typed "rear bezel". The center trim piece could be described as a bezel but you will find no bulbs in it.

Are you sure the bulbs aren't accessible from the inside?
