Good timing on the tool removal recommendation. Thank you! Mine gave me no visual sign that I was about to loose it. But I did last week doing 65 on the freeway. Heard a rattle noise coming from the back. At first thought it was a speaker shorting out or something like that. Then the noise stopped. Then 30 seconds later I heard a bigger flapping type noise, enough for me to look in my rear view mirror and see my brake light leave the vehicle. Luckily the vehicle behind me was a fair distance away and it didn't cause them any issue.
Clean breakaway...here what it looks like now. Though I have since covered it with plastic and automotive type to keep water / moisture out until I receive my replacement light and tackle this project at the weekend. Hopefully this kit will help with the silicone removal. Everywhere I turn on the forums or YouTube, nobody agrees this is a simple task getting the silicone removed. Though I do read a lot more complaints about why in the world LR decided on this method of affixing the brake light to the vehicle.
