High Mount Brake Light Bulb Replacement on 2002 Ford Explorer

[fordfrustration]

Hello Everyone,

I'm having some trouble. I cannot seem to find a way to get the lens off of the high mount brake light to replace the bulbs. The rear window blocks it even when you open it . The washer sprayer looks like it needs to be removed but I don't want to break it so I thought I would ask if anyone has any experience with this problem or a good solution. This seems like it should be super simple but I cannot figure it out I'm feeling pretty dumb.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

There's just a screw, I think only one, on the outside and the whole thing comes off along with the washer nozzle. just disconnect the harness and the hose to the sprayer when you take it off.

its 2 screws on each side of the brake light....when you get them off it should come out
