Does anyone know how to take apart the center section between the tail light. The red part that says Infiniti on it? I have it off the car and was wondering how do I take the lense off the back plastic piece?

Yeah, i took a heat gun too it and melted the sealer around the red plastic and i broke it around the key hole, I don't think there's a way to get it off without breaking the plastic, or im just dumb lmao.

It probably isn't glued or sealed, chances are it's sonic-welded. The only way to separate sonic welds is to cut.

If i was to take another one apart i would of just cut around the plastic on the inside to avoid breaking the lens.
