What happens here

Before reinstallation, ensure the clear plastic cover for the light fixture is correctly positioned. The side with the small deflector should face downwards. With the LED bulb securely in its socket and the cover in place, insert one side of the light fixture assembly into the corresponding opening on the vehicle's tailgate. Once one side is in, press firmly on the opposite side until you hear a distinct 'snap' or 'click,' indicating that the retaining tab has engaged and the fixture is locked securely into place. The fit may be snug, requiring some gentle force and maneuvering to ensure it is fully flush with the vehicle's surface.

Goal: With the new LED bulb installed, properly orient the light fixture cover and then reinstall the entire assembly back into the vehicle's opening.

Where'd my freaking cover go? Grab our cover right here. This side with the deflector there is going to go down. And this is just going to pop right back on in place here. Clip that on. It's just going to snap. You'll hear it snap in place. And now just get that back up in there. You're going to have to mess with it. You'll finangle with this. You'll mess with this thing a little bit. This is uh tight quarters for sure. Okay. That back up in there. You get one side started and just kind of you get one side started, kind of pull it a little bit to the right and then push down and it will the whole thing will click in place and now it's not going to move.
