Description
I've made 2 variations, each having a version with or without the retaining clips. The tabbed model is based on the genuine part, while the extended version is slightly longer with the purpose of being flush against the rear glass in an effort to block light bleed. The retaining clips should be reinforced with adhesive. Alternatively, they can be printed and glued on separately. Please double check the fitment and location of the retaining clips on your tailgate panel before gluing them on.
The clips can be found here or in my account: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7187514
Dimensions were measured from a cover that is currently on my wagon, so they may be slightly off. You should comment so if that's the case with details in order for me to improve the design. The depth may need to be modified to form a complete seal around the brake lamp due to warping of the tailgate cover it sits on.
For ease of printing, I would use the side facing the front of the car as the base. Supports may be needed around the fillet for the first few layers. I recommend using UV and heat-resistant filaments.

| PETG | $29.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $32.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $31.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $37.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $37.50 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |

Cost examples only. This design is not offered for sale; permission or specialist application review is required.
Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
