My drivers side rear tail light assembly failed out whilst i was driving home. When i parked at home it was partially out and only held in place by the one electrical harness that feeds it. Luckily it did not detach whilst driving on the freeway. there are 5 screws that are embedded in plastic round holes. The plastic holding those screws is brittle and has failed. I'll have to try work out a way to glue it back together or purchase another assembly.
Update from Oct 18, 2018: I ended up purchasing a new assembly from the dealership parts store for about $170.
