Duetto Rear Light Cover Empty Duetto Rear Light Cover

Post by Nickji Sat Sep 29, 2018 11:04 am

Hi  everyone,
The nearside cover on my 1998 Duetto is broken and there's no obvious access to remove/replace other than cutting through the toilet-waste compartment.   The inside area behind the light is covered by bathroom and on other side by fridge so no access possible from the back of the lights.  I want to sell the van and so would like to fix the problem; does anyone know of an easy way to access the cover fitting?  Thanks in advance.
PROBLEM SOLVED: Access nearside via small grey panel outside back of bathroom, offside bulbs reached by removing the fridge vents and reaching through to the wing nuts.

Hi wave 


With the back door open you should see a removable panel (screws covered by grey/blue caps). When the panel is removed you can get at the bulbs so presumably you can also get to the mounting screws.
 
It’s a bit of a fiddle, a small mirror may help.
