tail light seals

Post by BIGREVNEV »

A mate was telling me there should be a seal on the lower edge of the tail lights & the rear bar, that would explain the holes in the lower edge , does any one bother fitting them , i,ve never noticed any thing listed that suits . nev

There was a rubber flap fitted from new, some guys have made one up , others don't bother.
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Never bothered on mine, no one makes a repo one either. I have seen rubber strips an inch or so wide used.

The FE/FC guys have a repro of the two rear bumper bar body seal "end bits":
http://forum.fefcholden.club/index.php? ... ic=16530.0
, to which you can add flat rubber strip and a bit of steel flat bar (as a retainer) to go across the width of the car.

Not sure if the FE/FC "end bits" fit FB/EK though as the part numbers are different (7411557/7411558 for FE/FC and 7412789/7412790 for FB/EK).
