1962 tail light lens removal

[mulhollandmaster121]

Hey guys,

My right tail light is out. Simple enough, right? Well, I can’t seem to figure out how to remove the lens to get the bulb. After removing the metal that holds the lens in, I don’t see any way of removing the lens. I don’t want to force it as the lens already has a hairline crack.

I thought maybe you’re supposed to go from behind but I can’t seem to find anywhere from the trunk that connects to where the bulb is. And looking at the online shop manual hasn’t yielded an answer.

So yeah- any tips on how to get to that pesky bulb?

Thanks!

it's just stuck to the gasket. try pulling it down from the top.
