MGriff013 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 My tail lights are starting to pull apart and rather than buy a new set(mine are in decently good shape) I would like to see if there is anyway to reseal them. Any input is appreciated!
88ComancheMitch Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I'd just take some clear silicone and seal them well. IT'd be easy to take back apart if needed, but still hold everything together.
dave92cherokee Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Are you talking about the red lens is seperating from the back housing? If it's a small spot take a soldering iron and you can run it on the plastic which will melt it slightly and allow you to press them back together. This works better if there's some kind of filler material available like you would use if tig welding to melt onto the soldering iron to fill in the gaps and prevent big holes from opening up.

They're too expensive to not fix immediately
MGriff013 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 Looks like I need to go pick up some clear silicone in the next few days... I don't want to buy new tail lights at $100+ for a set
