3rd brake light hole

Does anyone know if the cover from a 5th gen is large enough to cover the CHMSL (3rd brake light) hole in a 4th gen?

3 different dealers told me that the 4th gen ones are no longer available so I though I'd buy a 5th gen. I just don't want it to be either not long or wide enough. I don't really care about the plastic legs (clips) underneath, I just need to know if the top (cover itself) is large enough to cover the hole.

pic is of my 4th gen...


Thanks,

I think thats a crock. I found the parts here:

Did they all come with the brake light? If not, you'll have to ask what the part number is to get a package shelf without the light.

Oh man, I didn't even think of that... It would probably be a lot cheaper too! Thanks!

The website doesn't list the plastic cover and I don't actually want to replace the entire shelf.

I'll probaby go the junkyard way...
