ok the third brake light on my car has never worked so i figured i would take it off today. i stupidly yanked the housing from the hatch glass and completely messed up the way it attaches on and stays fixed and broke a few things in the process. my buddy told me today he could fix the brake light it after i did all this . im not sure whether to remove it completely but that would leave behind a couple nice holes in the hatch that i would have no idea how to plug them up. or maybe i could try and fix the housing and the way it attaches but i wouldnt know what to do there either. anyone have any experience with this??

my car is a 1986 camaro by the way
