Flexable screwdriver. You may find one on Ebay.falcondrgn wrote:Hello,
I refuse to believe that the easiest way to gain access to the license plate light is to remove all the interior panels on the rear hatch door. There has got to be an easier way to change those bulbs. Any ideas?

No, but they look like they'd do the job, guess I'm wrong. I'm slowly looking for one in town, but not getting out of my own way for it.falcondrgn wrote:I have looked into something like this but it seems like the flexible tip part of the screwdriver would be too long to fit underneath the chrome trim covering the plate. Have u used something like this with success?

long thin screwdriver, made by craftsman.falcondrgn wrote:What is a long thin craftsman? do u mean a long thin pliers from craftsman? Do you know how to disconnect the rear gas shocks from the inside since the service manual states that the shocks have to be disconnected to take apart the trim? Thanks so much for your reply.

Npath wrote:The chrome trim on the 08 models are pretty much the same. I'll bet the only difference is the way the screw is angled. I'll be at a dealership tomorrow and I'll take a look.falcondrgn wrote:Then shouldn't it be the same? bc that is the case for the 05's as well.
