#1 S1 rear light gaskets

Post by max-it-out » Tue Nov 30, 2021 7:30 pm

Why hasn`t my car got any ? The plastic lens is a loose fit and I`m sure water can get in . Would it be a good idea to seal `em up with silicone to stop water ingress ? :salute: :santa:

Hi Mark,

New seals are available to buy pretty cheaply.

SNG have them in stock. Search for product 8620:

Brilliant - exactly what I need , thanks Simon .
Just while I`m here - I notice on the same page at SNGB they offer LED bulbs ( £ 5 as opposed to 60 p for normal bulbs ) . Is there any advantage to these ? Last time I looked , the ordinary tail lights seemed ok re. brightness . :salute:

I have bought these seals from two suppliers recently and they are both a poor fit . To flimsy and hard to get to seal .
