hey all, i fit my new smoked lights today, well tried to... i did the left one no probs. but the on the right one there is one screw that i cant possibly get to, its behind the plastic edge of the boot. i have to use a mirror to even see the screw! has anyone else encountered this and know of a solution?

cheers

Is that the one at the top? Is it a 3door?

its a 3 door yeh. no its the bottom right screw i have taken a pic but cant get it on my pc til the weekend. bit pointless really!!

its not that much of a prob, it just means more effort and getting a drill from somewhere...
