Cargo Light Cover $@#&*

Dang,

I have a led replacement for the cargo light but trying to
remove the cover is turning into a real pain.

I can get a flat bladed screw driver into the end of the
cover closest to the hatch door but it does not want
to pop out.

The end closest to the front of the car is too close to the suspension
tower to get any sort of implement to pry with...

Which end is the end to attack... Any hints on how to pop the
cover off?

Jerry

Ok,

A little brute force on one of the sides yielded success. I naturally
plugged in the led with the polarity reversed the first time, sigh...

What you did not test before putting back in? LEDs are always mounted the wrong way the first time.
