2006 Forester Tail Light Stud

1/1/2025: Added .obj and .step files in case someone wants to modify it.

This is a mounting stud (clip) for a 2006 Subaru Forester tail light. They easily break off when removing the tail light from the vehicle.

I took RCAholic's design (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3553603) for the bottom stud (there are 3 in total for each tail light), scaled it to the correct size, and removed the screw portion because it's almost imposible to remove from an old tail light once it's broken off. This can also be used for the other two studs that are part of a bracket, and not screwed in to the housing.

Tall file is for the bottom stud Short file is for the other two on the white bracket

To mount take a 5/64 drill bit, drill a hole in the center of where the old stud broke off, then glue the new one into place.

I printed mine using PLA, but if you have ABS that would be recommended since it is more durable and has a hight temperature tolerance
