[s-cars] taillight lens removal

[Bob Rossato]

Sounds like the previous owner may have glued the taillight down.  The factory doesn't use black adhesive, at least for the corner taillights.  It's just a gasket.  I don't know on the center panel lights that are mounted to the trunk lid, though I would imagine those are gaskets as well.
