MGriff013 Posted October 4, 2014 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88ComancheMitch Posted October 5, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave92cherokee Posted October 5, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGriff013 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
