Rear bumper reflectors

[Taycan101]

No doubt about it, I struggled with it too and would be easier if more parts/panels removed but I didn't want to go to that length - just have to niggle away at it and def don't get frustrated and force it out damaging the body panel - slow and easy wins the race here but yes, a right PITA!

I added a few more pics to last post if interested - best of luck!

Did some of the old tape were left behind when removed? Im thinking if some old tape has to be removed it’ll be a pain in the ass ?

No I managed to get it all out w/o too much hassle - remember once you have one side of a reflector detached with help from behind it becomes easier to remove working from the outside where you can see the tape more easily - and this tape is designed to come off (esp with a bit of heat but I DO NOT recommend using a heat gun as obvious big risk to your paint - if you do just be super careful).

@ ciaranob:
1) What color are your rear lower bumper reflectors...matte black, to match the adjacent trim?
2) can you walk thru the exact steps needed for the rear and side rear reflector replacements?

Just get some wrap or tint and apply to what ever you want to do. It's actually pretty easy.
I wrapped my door handles the same too...

Anyone willing to sell / donate your old but undamaged rear right side red reflector (passenger side in Canada/US) to me? My is a bit cracked due to a parking incident. Many thanks.

Can you ping me later today or tomorrow if you don’t solve this before - super busy today - can pull mine out but just need to confirm my RHS piece is AOK!
PM if easier.

Thanks Ciaranob for the offer, unfortunately I'm looking for the rear outter reflectors (right side) if anyone else had replaced theirs and have them lying around. Thanks.
