2006 Forester Tail Light Stud

Yes, I'm aware the pictures are rotated incorrectly, thanks to Thingiverse for doing that for me. This mounting stud (clip) was designed specifically for a 2006 Subaru Forester tail light. They tend to break off easily when removing the tail light from the vehicle. I took RCAholic's design for the bottom stud and scaled it to the correct size, then removed the screw portion because it's nearly impossible to remove once it's broken off from an old tail light. This can also be used for the other two studs that form part of a bracket, but are not screwed into the housing. The tall file is intended for the bottom stud while the short file is designed for the other two on the white bracket. To install, use a 5/64 drill bit to drill a hole in the center where the old stud broke off. Then, glue the new one into place. I printed mine using PLA, but ABS would be recommended since it's more durable and has a higher temperature tolerance.
