2022 Micro Minnie 1708FB Rear Upper Marker Light Access

[Gunny Rio]

Afternoon Folks.
While cleaning my 2022 1708FB I found the upper rear 3/4-in marker lights gromets were completely dry rotted. One of the lights pushed back into the wall hole. Does anyone know how to access these?
Thanks!

Have you tried fixing these yet? I’m having the same issue and was going to try prying them out and replacing them with these.

You got it! This is what I replaced all mine with. It's a pain in the tail and you may recite a few 4-letter words, but the marker lights will come out through the original hole. I did find that if the light pushed into the wall cavity you'll need to take an exacto-knife razor and cut the old gromet off the light before you try to pull it back through and out. Once I figured the first one out (that was pushed back in), the rest were a piece of cake.
Given the dry rot and that the rubber is likely from China, I plan on putting these on my annual inspection list.
