How To - Replace rear tail light gasket with ebay neoprene

[EFinLow2]

get some of this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-NEOPREN ... 3cd8f84035" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

if the link expires its just "neoprene sheet" loads of it on ebay cut to size

i got 5mm thickness but id go with 6 if i did it again just for extra seal

1. pull off old gasket
2. lay ontop of new neoprene sponge sheet
3. draw line around with felt tip
4. cut around and also cut centre holes
5. lay ontop of rear light, line up and push screws through to create holes

done hopefully no more leaky boot

Hey if anyone needs the Neoprene I have a Roll of it in my loft which you can cut to size, I used it for my car and its identical to the original material.
I can definitely do better than the ebay prices.

cant remember off the top of my head what size i bought, just measure the old gasket or even measure the outside of the tail light if you cant be arsed to take em out get 6mm thickness if you can but 5mm should be fine also

i stole this idea elsewhere but there was no write up so thought id post it on 4guk
