I was curious my 84 mercury cougar had a 3rd brake light..... i dont see it on pictures of 84 mercury cougars nor in the options on coolcats. It was held on by a double sided black foam to the rear window. Anyone think this was stock or done later?

Factory started in 86 if i remember correctly.
musta been done later. Some85's had it as well. Mine mounts to the carpet over the 6x9's
mine had a hole in the carpet in the middle of the back window and was held on by that black foam . now to get the black foam off without screwin up my defroster? any one know how? ive got most of it off just the lil small chunks n
It was government law for 1986 models. Yours sounds aftermarket, I remember (back in the day) everyone was selling those stupid things to retrofit older cars and people bought them like popcorn at a movie.
carb cleaner or brake cleaner will disolve the foam.
My 84 Cougar has it too. hmm, i just figured it was factory, or an option.
I parted an 81 tbird that had a 3rd brake light, I always thought it was a dealer installed option it had the baby seat hold down aswell on the package tray.
thanks sleeper ill get some carb cleaner soon( gotta rebuild a carb anyhow) and use some on the foam
