Tail light removal question

[Richard Hoffman]

I had a similar dilemma when I installed treser smoked tails on my Coupe
Quattro.  I found that careful use of a screwdriver loosened the gasket
enough to slowly peel the taillights off.  I used 3M "strip-calk" adhesive
weatherstripping which is almost exactly the same as the factory stuff to
install the new tails.
Good luck!
