Default Clear corner install

Hi all:

So I sourced my clear indicators from Rennspeed, and I got the rearmost panel installed without issue. However, the front-most indicators are seemingly impossible to remove. Looking at the clear replacements, they should just pull out straight to the front. In my case, they don't - and I don't want to exert too much pressure for fear of breaking something. Is there a trick I am missing? Do I need to remove those little black rubber bumperettes? It doesn't look like they'd need to come off but what do I know?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Pete

From what I recall, there should only be one screw to undo for the front corner indicator. Once you remove the side marker the screw is hidden behind it. Then it should just slide out to the front. Depending on how long it has been in there, it may not want to come out at first, but it will.

Mine came out easily after removing the the screw on the side, the same couldn't be said about one of my headlight rings which was locked onto the gasket.

My advice would be to gently push/pull the lense until you get some movement. Once you feel movement then pull and it should slide out.

Yes, you have to remove the black bumperettes and then they come out easily.

Thanks Gents! I'll take the bumperettes off tonight and have a go.

Thanks again!
