Rear Light Gaskets 4th & 5th Gen

Post by **vanzep** » Wed Mar 06, 2019 5:11 pm

A common source of leaks into the boot on 4th & 5th Gens is through the rear lights as the gaskets fail.
These ones are an improved design
The seller on ebay doesnt ship to UK so i thought it might be worthwhile seeing what the level of interest is and contact them to see if they will do one shipment to me and i can then post them out to buyers in the UK.

Here is the link and see what you think. If interested please note if its 4th or 5th gen your wanting.

My tail lights don’t actually leak all that much, I think the bigger problem is rust around the boot seal letting water in past the seal, but there looks to be plenty of solid metal left so will get to it later this year hopefully...

Ive been working on the same thing - water can also get in thru the panels where they overlap - (you wouldnt believe it could leak from there but it can) just at either side of the boot seal - sure honda had a fix for this - you cover the panel overlaps with a layer of tigerseal or similar top and bottom - newkid did same fix on his torneo
