3rd Brake Light Cover for 2016 Maxima with Spoiler

3rd Brake Light Cover for 2016 Maxima with Spoiler
Can't find the thread I had read here several months ago about this issue, so I thought I'd start a new one with helpful information. Like many of you, I have a 2016 Maxima with the spoiler that has a brake light in it. I hated the look from the back with having a 4th brake light in the window, so I disabled it a while back. I wanted the cover like the 2017 Maxima has instead of having either a hole in the back deck, or leaving the disabled brake light in there. After months of waiting, I finally found a valid part number for this cover (charcoal interior). I found it a quirkparts.com...the part number is 79966-4RA0A ($11.14 shipped). I ordered it and immediately received a delayed shipping email because they had to get the part from the manufacturer. After waiting a week or two, it arrived yesterday and fits perfectly. An added bonus is that the rear shade still works after disabling the third brake light and just leaving the harness hanging in there. Hope this helps some of you searching for this cover.

I did this, but they have a very similar web site feel making me believe they are getting them all from the same place. I did try another site though and hoping they have in stock or something. Waiting to see if I get the same email.

Guys my local dealer is having a hard time ordering this. Even Nissan is saying they cant get it. The part number comes up BUT they are having trouble with the color code for the matching piece. We have the Charcoal interior. Does anyone have the part number etc for this piece for charcoal interior?

What does it consist of removing this 3rd brake light and putting the cover on? Is it easy to remove? Anyone have instructions? This cover is holding up my install with the premium spoiler from the dealer. They have my spoiler in but still waiting for the cover to come in. Was thinking about getting the spoiler installed now and just wait for the cover to come in. Then they can put it in. BUT if its a process or a pita to do it. Suppose I can just wait and get it all done at once?

I highly recommend BeeLine Parts, link to the part above. 79966-4RA0A, charcoal, was $7.31 and they offered free standard USPS shipping. Customer service has been excellent so far, receiving emails even phone calls to update me on the status of my order. The parts manager is very knowledgeable with the issue they are having, and I can confirm that any orders on these parts will be backordered as Nissan has only begun to manufacturer them and they are in very limited supply. Most cheap online parts stores do not even have the part in their system, don't know what it is or why we want it, and most of them can't even read a newer VIN so they direct you to the entire rear shelf for $100+. I should have mine in about a week and I ordered a few days ago.

Well it arrived yesterday on the 16th. Perfect fit, finish and color, and yes it is a Nissan OEM part. Do not hesitate to deal with these guys.

Mine came in from my local dealer on Friday. YES! Getting the spoiler installed with that new cover from the dealer on Tuesday. This part is in high demand right now either way. Is the interior brake light difficult to remove and disconnect? Just curious.

Super easy, you put a little pressure on the front of it, while lifting upwards and the front should pop out. Then you pull the assembly forward a little and it will slide out from the back. Don't pull like crazy as the wire will still be attached. Pull the wire loose from the light assembly, and then push it back down, and your done. FYI I moved the foam up the wire to cover the connector so it wouldn't bang around on the deck. Put the light cover on the same way the light assembly came off, and your done. Should take you about less than a minute.
