Honda S2000 Cleaning Around the High Mount Stop Lamp

When the body color of S2000 is white, the water stains on the parts that are not normally removed are conspicuous. After maintaining the area around the tail lens, I worked around the high mount stop lamp.

The high mount stop lamp is fixed with 5 nuts. Like the tail lens, it uses a 10mm deep socket.

Since the tightening torque was unknown here as well, I measured it with a torque wrench, but it seems that this is also 10 Nm.

Only the nut in the center does not allow tools to enter, so I removed the actuator attached to the trunk striker and then accessed it. The actuator has been fixed with two screws.

This is a terrible stain. The mud stains are also terrible, so I had a hard time cleaning it. The scale is also stubborn, so I used the compound carefully.

After cleaning. It became like this.

The high mount stop lamp side was also quite dirty. Since the gasket could not be separated, I cleaned it with a rag. I’m a little worried if it will leak if reused.

I was able to clean this much.

Return in reverse order. Be careful not to forget to connect the coupler. I forgot and it wasn’t lit for a while.

Anyway, it’s done.
