Trunk light removal???

I need a little info here on my 62 Buick Skylark convertible before I break a non-replaceable trunk light, how is this suppose to come off the bottom of the trunk lid? I have tried turning it but it seems very tight, next is to pry but don't want to break it. Thanks

 

Pop the metal cover off and their should be 2 screws holding it in place. The metal covers have a couple dimples stamped in them to hold them in place.

Thanks Keith, came off real good but found that the mercury tilt switch is pooched. May have to incorporate a trunk switch. Any ideas??

 

Every once in a while I see an NOS one come up for sale. Buick Farms may have one. They can be kinda hard to find, but there is a few out there yet.

I checked there, no such luck. I'm getting a 61 Special parts car hopefully it will ave what I need.

 

The trunk light was an option, so not to many vehicles had one. Maybe you will get lucky!

I talked to another member last night that had 4-5 of these last fall. I asked him if he had any left. He said he would look and get back to me.

If he says he has one I will have him hold it for you, and give you his contact info or vice versa.

Well didn't get lucky, no trunk light, so Keith if your buddy has one I'm interested.
