third brake light

[Willmond]

I have one big request, how to install the third brake light from the Skoda Fabia II Combi? In the space where the third brake light is, there is only a metal plate and in the middle of the door, one rubber seal, under which there is a hole with a diameter of 2 cm, the light seriously cannot reach it. The plastic cover is only in the lower part of the door, so they can't get into the light. Thanks

It looks like it's part of the spoiler, not the door, so you need to remove the spoiler.

yes, it is part of the spoiler ... I saw one picture / instructions where to put a screwdriver in that small hole ....

Looking at the picture of the brake light itself it appears to be held in by clips rather than screwed.  Hence putting something through that hole and giving it a good hard push and it should pop out.

I found this, and I tried to put a screwdriver in there, but the hole is very small and nothing can be seen. It's like a rubik's cube🙈

Hmm...   That looks like you put the screwdriver in and push something across the the right to release the light...   Tricky!

1. Please stop posting text in reverse video.
2. It looks to me like you put the screwdriver in the hole and then push on it.

I've just bought a new one of these as mine appears not to be working,  hope the screwdriver trick works for me tomorrow. Will let you know

Práve som si kúpil nový, pretože ten môj zrejme nefunguje, dúfam, že ten trik so skrutkovačom mi zajtra vyjde. Dám ti vedieť 

 

I replaced it, you have to move it to the side, but I only found out after destroying the old light. But I already have a new light there and everything is fine. One small hole for 3 light . It's not very simple clever 🙃😁

I've replaced mine , I too ended up destroying the old one . But the new one clips in and all working well.
