    I'm trying to change the gasket on the part of the taillight that goes
    up with the trunk. The driver's side one leaks water into the trunk
    after a rain. I open the trunk and water pours in from the light
    assembly.

    I got a replacement gasket, supposedly for that assembly, but I can't
    get the part off. There seem to be four bolts inside the trunk that
    hold it on, but removing those only loosens it, it seems like there is
    a fifth bolt. I think I feel it, but it's blocked by the trunk metal
    and I can't figure out how to get it off. I don't even think an offset
    nut driver would get at that part.

    Anyone know how to do this?

    Thanks, it doesn't show me the location of the last nut, but it does
    show me that I have the wrong gasket. They sold me the one for the
    part of the light that's not on the trunk lid. So I'll ask the
    maintenance folks when I go to change the part.

    They should be able to print out the diagram for you;my local Acura dealer
    did for me once,for the radio power antenna.

    Hopefully this diagram from the service manual will be helpful.

    Thanks, that does help. There is no fifth nut; it appears that I need
    to remove a light connector. Now I just need the correct gasket.
