Replacing Rear Light Lens 2012 Model

[photoforum]

I have a crack in the lens and have found replacement on Ebay for $188 but I cant see any screws or way to remove and replace ...not like an old car where you get out the philips and replace in 5 mins it seems...
Is it as hard as it looks ( ie impossible without an engineering degree)?
Cheers

The whole tail light assembly bolts from the inside... There should be an access panel of some sort inside the rear hatch or cargo compartment..

To be clear, you replace the whole lamp assembly and lens, they are welded together to stop water entry. 2 or 3 torq screws holding it.
The original VWA ones from memory were only $200 or $220 for my 2009.
Subsequently I noticed at Volkspower they had cheaper grey-market imports than VWA.

Have a look in your owner's manual under replacing bulbs. You will require a Torx T20 or T25 screwdriver to remove I think 2 screws by the hatch opening and one behind the first aid or jack stowage panel. 5 min job!
