Hi folks,

I think my rear lights are letting a bit of water into the boot so need to sort it. Has anyone got the FSM or the rubber seal parts? I hope the seals aren't part of the bloody lights..... :S

Thanks

Dave

The rear lights are secured by 3 x fixing points and at each fixing points a neoprene washer is supposed to seal the hole for the fixings.
It is a very basic seal and not a great idea for our climate, you probably could make new additional seals or buy additional seals from a dealer, but they literally are a round neoprene washer

Thanks! I'll take them off at the weekend and see if I can come up with something better.... failing that I'll just buy some new ones.
