Maybe it's just the button and nothing else.
Then it would be an Alfa Romeo (former Alfa owner...full disclosure).

Has anyone successfully removed the side markers from a 2014-2016 North American Panamera? My painted markers arrived from BumperPlugs.

I've seen the instructions for the 2010-2013 model years, but the newer markers are slightly different and I'm not sure if the procedure for removal is the same. Judging by the hole in the wheel housing liner, it appears to be a similar process.

Removed three screws to pop back the wheel well liner, detached the wiring clip, popped out the side markers, then replaced with the painted markers. Re-attached wiring and well liner, and done. They look great and are a match save for the slight difference due to the clear bra.

For those interested, some before/after of the painted side markers from BumperPlus.

I remove my rack during the week for my commute. I replace the little nubbins that insert into the screw holes, but nonetheless I'm noticing a bit of rust in there. Any good way to remediate or even prevent that? It's an odd configuration since it's also the rain gutter.

So I just opened this thread and saw the first post but didn't look at the date and I'm thinking to myself - where on earth does this guy live where there is that much snow in August!!

Then I looked at the date. March. Ahh..

gotcha

Car looks great btw - I loves me some blue cars. I have two blue Camaro's.
