It happened so long ago I've forgotten. I sorta remember the flex plate bolts getting loose.

Wagon 3rd brake lights? Who has them? What are people using?
Bill,
If your car does not have the rear deflector over the hatch glass you can use a Volvo wagon 3rd brake light behind the glass...that's what I did. I'll get you some pics of it later today...or it might be in my build thread.

Looks awesome. I wish i could find a deflector. Ill be adding a 3rd brake light to my junkyard shopping list in the spring.
Thanks Bill.
I believe that particular 3rd brake light was from a Volvo V-60 wagon...if I recall correctly.
I used to have two complete rear deflector setups. I ended up selling them both to members on this site.
