i removed my screws under the hatch, but now i dont know how to get rid of the tubing that lights up the brake lights. there are screws to open up the brake lights, but they are rusted so before i go any further i want to know if there is another way.

 

i had the same problem. take a drill bit and try and reverse it out. it only wored for 2 of my 4 rusted screws. so i just ended up junking it.
