Thanks John (great name) If I can get my fingers in there I’ll give it a go. Here in a couple of weeks I have been planning on raising Talia up on jack stands to do a valve adj so I’ll get in there and give it a go. I have a flex shaft tool I can put a 1/4 drive socket on also I maybe able to use it

^^ Thank You Mr Blue I discovered it hard as hell to buff bumper cover pieces by them selves so I’m in the process of mounting the rear bumper cover. Once that is done I’ll rotate Talia 180 degrees and start on the drivers side.

No doubt polishing requires a decent amount of pressure and if you don’t have the pieces perfectly stabilized they will vibrate and move which could damage the paint. I usually tape off all the rubber seals to keep the polish away and prevent damage to them during the polishing with good results.

Test fit 😂 the sharp eyes will see no license plate light
Anyway I think I slipped something under instead of over as I have a pretty good gap beneath the center light
