STEP 6
Open your rear door and using a
plastic trim remover tool, pry off the
back plate. Pull straight back to avoid
breaking off any tabs.
Close the door and then using a
13mm socket, remove the eight tire
carrier bolts.
NOTE: The carrier will fall away once the
last bolt is removed. Ensure you have it
secure to avoid paint damage.
STEP 5
Unclip the top two plugs to the
camera and the third brake light.
The white camera plug unclips by
pressing the tab down and pulling
away. The third brake light will require
you to pull back on the red lock tab,
then pushing down on the black tab

Grab the rubber wire grommet and
pull away from the door to remove the
wires from the door while holding the
carrier.
Split the front and back of the third
brake light housing to gain access to
the light mount and the plug. Using
the same T25, remove the two bolts
holding the light and then unplug
the light from the harness. Set all
components off to the side.

STEP 12
Remove the two bolts on the face
of the carrier on either side of the
camera tower using your T25. This will
allow you to remove the camera and
studs.
Once free, using a socket or in our
case a 3/8” socket extension, we
tapped lightly on the exposed camera
mounts in each stud hole. We also
reinserted each T25 screw just to the
left and right of the camera tower and
tapped on these. The camera mount
is not glued but pressed in slightly
so some light force may be needed to
release it.
STEP 11
To remove the stud plate, tap on the
studs evenly with a hammer or mallet
to push them through the carrier. The
stud plate should fall away from the
camera mount and carrier.
