as title, i'm having aggro with the rear light on the passenger side of the escy



it just lets water in!

i've siliconed the seal to the car and around the top of the light and refitted it and it still insists on pissing me off

and it bit me and cut my finger, and due to health and safety i have to wear a plaster

any ideas? or give up and get a new one!

Just get a new one!

You could end up being there for ages, especially if there's the slightest moisture still inside the light. It's doable, and I'm sure some people just happen to get it right first time, but it's one of them jobs where you could be at it for ages

Yea its the third time its been off since sunday

I'll have to hit the scrappy at some point then i guess

it bit you? at least the chavs wont risk it...

scrappers should be your best bet.

ah i meant whilst refitting a sharp edge caught my finger and sliced a small part open! bugger

get a seal from scrappy get some cleaner and wipe all the dirt off round the seal and retight the bolts up jobs a good one

done that



took the seal off, cleaned it, siliconed it to the car, cleaned the light and tightened it up over the seal and no different

no comments on ford quality please

it needs a new seal if that dont cure it check the boot seal

but its only that light, and the bulb holder is wet so i dont thinkits the boot seal

is there a small crack in the light or any small holes have a look m8 also check for little rust patches water might be getting thrugh due to rot

i came out this morning and the car was wet, boot dry

hopefully i've cracked it!

Last thing you wanna do is crack it
