Title: Brake Lamp
Post by: Tonka. on 23 July 2009, 17:05:54

The high level brake light has decided to part company with the rear window.

It hangs down about half an inch so when I brake at night the car floods with red light  ::)

I have tried 'Superglue' and double sided carpet tape but it still drops down again after a few days.

What would be the best thing to keep it in place?  :y :y

assuming facelift is same as prefacelift, the clips on the C pillar trims should hold it up?

Try a bit of gasket in a tube ( black silicone sealant ) that might help. Leave it over might to dry and dont use to much.

The outer edges are tight against the 'C' pillars. It is the centre which has developed a droop  ;D :y

Hmmm, I've always said that the facelift interior was poor quality...
