the top of the thing gets pretty rough after a while, looks grimey and such.

if this is your case, simply wetsand it, polish it, and possible add a coat of Niteshade to it.

The official name is "Center High Mounted Brake Light" in the GM manuals.

Yep, I've also heard it referred to as a "high mounted stop lamp".

Every car sold in the United States since the 1985 model year has had them.

I heard that GM wants like $150 for that stupid thing. I'd like a new one. Mine is cracked, but no water gets in.
