Removing Lock From Rear Door

[mely1200]

Hey team,

I did a bunch of searches and found nothing, not trying to be lazy here.

Doing all 4 locks after theft. I've got the front 2 doors out already.

I've got the liner off, the clip off the lock, the 10mm locking nut off the lock AND all of them off the light arrangement, but I can't get it out of the silver housing, or get the sliver housing + rear lights off the wagon door.

Can I pop that silver surround out of the rear light arrangement, or; do I need to cut the glue that is around the lights and pull the whole arrangement out?

I'm going to get cracking on the ignition barrel while the answers roll in ;-)

Cheers team,

Mely

I have never done this before but have a look at the picture i edited.

I found a solution, and it was hair dryer...

I heated the panel and the glue went tacky, gave me enough space to push the lock out.

rock on team,
