The method for replacing the rear light cover of the Volkswagen Lavida is as follows: 1. Open the trunk lid; 2. Remove the trunk lining; 3. Remove the nuts securing the rear taillight; 4. Disconnect the rear taillight wiring harness; 5. Remove the old rear light cover and replace it with a new one. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Lavida as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, wheelbase 2688mm, fuel tank capacity 51L, and trunk capacity 510L. The 2021 Volkswagen Lavida is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, a maximum power of 110kW, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I enjoy tinkering with my car in my spare time, and replacing the rear light cover of a Volkswagen Lavida isn't too complicated. First, gather the necessary tools: a Phillips screwdriver, a wrench, and possibly a new light cover accessory, which can be purchased online or at an auto parts store. Next, turn off the car's power and disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electric shock. Open the engine hood and locate the rear light assembly, which is usually secured with three to five screws. Unscrew them, gently pull off the light cover—don't yank it hard to avoid breaking the wires. Clean any dust or debris around the area and check if the bulb and sealing ring are intact. Install the new light cover, align it properly, press it firmly into place, and screw the bolts back in. Finally, reconnect the battery and test the lighting functions by turning on the car. If you notice water leakage or the light not working, it might be due to improper sealing or a loose bulb. DIY saves a few hundred bucks, but it takes about half an hour—patience is key. Don’t rush; broken glass is even more dangerous.
