There are 2 popout screws that can be removed after opening the rear door. This did not seem to unseal the light, though I think I was doing it correctly. It still is on there pretty solid, & I do not want to force it off & break it.
1.
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2.
Open the liftgate to access and remove the two push-pins (3) that secure the rear lamp unit (1) to the side jamb (2) of the liftgate opening.
3.
Pull the outboard side of the rear lamp unit rearward far enough to unsnap the two ball studs on the outboard side of the lamp housing from the two plastic grommets (6) in the quarter outer panel.
4.
Pull the lamp away from the vehicle far enough to access and disengage the retainer on the body wire harness (4) from the tab on the lower lamp housing.
5.
Disconnect the body wire harness connector from the pigtail wire connector (5) on the back of the lamp housing.
6.
Remove the lamp from the lamp opening of the quarter outer panel.
Hope this helps.
