replacing 3rd brake light on 2017 OBW tips

[gritle 13]

Hello, 

The 3rd brake light on the gate of my 2017 OBW was damaged when a kayak flew off the top of my car.  Fortunately, the kayak didn't cause any other damage to my car or others on the freeway.  I have the replacement LED light assembly but I can't find any videos or instructions on how to replace it.  There is a spoiler so the light sits in and 'underneath' the spoiler.  Would anybody here have suggestions or a link to a video on how to do this.  I was able to pull of part of the molding on the inside of the gate but the light doesn't seem to be accessible from there.  

 

Thank you!
