I have a feeling it is the center mounted brake light cluster at the top of the hatch that is causing my interference. I have a few bulbs out that I need to replace, but in checking out the cluster I noticed some corrosion on the PCB that the lights go into. Plus some corrosion on the bulb holders then selves. I may try and sand/rub away as much corrossion as possible but I'll probably wind up getting a new/used reflector assembly.
