Removing
1. We prepare the car for work.
2. Remove the internal rear lights mounted on the trunk lid.
3. Disconnect the wire connectors of the additional brake light.
4. Using a 6 mm socket wrench, disconnect the wire harness holders from the trunk lid.
5. We derive the wiring harness from the amplifier rear edge of the trunk lid.
6. Using a screwdriver with a thin blade or a large paper clip, we press the locking antennae of the wire ends of the connectors of the rear light sections. We mark the color of the wires on the connector and remove the tips from the trunk lid connectors.
7. We remove the rubber seal of the wiring harness from the hole in the trunk lid amplifier.
8. Pull the wiring harness out of the hole.
9. Together with an assistant, holding the trunk lid in the air, with a 13 mm key, unscrew the four nuts securing the lid to the hinges.

Installation
We install the trunk lid on the car in the reverse order, focusing on the traces of the loops remaining on the inner surface of the lid.
With a piece of copper or aluminum wire, we stretch the wiring harness through the cover amplifier.
We install all the elements dismantled from the trunk lid in the reverse order of their removal.
Adjustment
1. Remove the latch of the trunk lid lock.
2. Slightly loosen the nuts securing the trunk lid.
3. Close the lid and slightly moving it, set the position of the lid in the opening. The gap along the front edge of the trunk lid must be uniform throughout its entire length, and the gaps at the side edges of the lid must be the same along its entire length.
4. Having installed the trunk lid in the required position, carefully open it at a small angle and tighten the nuts securing the lid to the hinges.
5. Lower the cover again and make sure that it has not changed its position in the opening. If necessary, repeat the adjustment of the trunk lid.
6. We install the latch of the trunk lid lock in place.
