Front light clusters and dead flies inside.........ggggrrrr!

[T-Burn]

The front light clusters on my T350 are full of dust and dead flies . The car's a couple of years old and looks stunning when cleaned, but how the hell do I get in to clean inside of the light clusters???? Any advise would be much appreciated...........

Had the same with mine. Offord did a great job of cleaning them out for me, might be worth putting a call into them.

i had the same problem with mine, bought a tube of Black Fixall sealant and cut the lens covers off with a stanley knife and cleaned, risky but if carefully done easy enough. looks much better after a clean

I too suffer with this problem, how do they get in there ?

[hendrix]

Had same problem with chimeara and same with my T350T. Have spoke to my local dealer who have replaced the lenses but they had to break them to get off so be very carefull. you'll be lucky to get them off whole!

i think the rubber seals that back the actual light units are pretty poor and crap gets in when moving at high speeds, i sometimes get flies coming in through the small gaps in the targa panels on my roof, pain in the ass having a lap full of dead flies after a long drive.

Thanks all for the replies.
TheArb - sorry for a dumb question, but who are Offord?...........otherwise it looks like a Stanley knife and a steady hand it is

You must have a major fitment problem. Nothing gets through my roof panels. However, when I take them off there is a usually nice assortment of roadkill which needs cleaning off the outside line of the seal.
