850 tail light l;enses

[The Bear]

Can anyone tell me how to remove the tail light lenses on my '96 850
wagon. I have new lenses which I want to replace the originals with
and have no idea how to get the old ones off.
Thanks in advance

Assuming it's the same as the slightly later V70, you need to do the
following:

For the upper cluster, remove the panel which holds the rear loudspeaker,
and then remove the bulbholder from the back of the lamp cluster. You will
then be able to access the nuts which hold the cluster onto the bodywork.
The lower cluster is similar but you have to remove the narrow side
extensions of the luggage compartment floor in order to get at the clips
which hold the inner lamp cover panels.

Hope this makes sense!
