Start at the sides and pry up under the plastic on both sides, work up to the middle.

2 bolts and it's out. You can also get to the rear winshield washer nozzle.

BACK OFF would be nice to have scrolled across! (I wonder if CBL could help lol)Stencil and window tint, the wife has enough scrapbooking supplies so letter style shouldn't be a problem.

CBL would stoop to such a low level as to help anybody with an American Vibe.

This thread has me curious. What was the reason you accessed the 3rd brake light in the first place? If you made mods to it you didn't show "after" pics. I'm currently designing a special 3rd brake light assembly for my 09 Vibe Gt (will truly be a "one of a kind" trust me!) and was curious as to what mods were made by members like yourself.

The purpose of taking it apart was to see what was involved with removing the spoiler and possibly installing a GT spoiler. And to see what I might want to do around the 3rd brake light...As the GT spoiler is something I want to have installed (at some point...) but $400 for it would get me to Vegas and back so.... priorities...The only mods to my car are the Vacuum gauge, Sirius radio, and genvibe dot com sticker
