Chim headlight surround

[stalkydog]

Hello
How do you remove the headlight surround from a 1999 Chimeara? I've found the two wing nut fixings at the bottom of the assembly, but there seems to be another fixing at the top. I need to replace both headlights , one is cracked and the other has a corroded reflector. Anyone know where to get these from? Cheers Stalkydog

There is a big blob of very strong black silicone holding the top down.

You need to remove the two fixings then carefully lift the cowl away from this silicone.

Hope this helps?

I found that some bright spark had put that black sealer used for the lenses across the top of the body, I ended up using a small hacksaw blade slid it under the cowl and sawed through the black st, be careful you do not twist to much or they break. good luck :-)
