dc4/dc2 tail lights filling up with water.

[Bludger]

is it the right thickness?

Not the exact thickness, but it works. Has been done before. Just avoid the stiching areas where it might be layered.

that was what really helped for me...
its not perfect but after the heavy rain over last night theres 90% less water then what used to be not a complete fix but really helped it...

Pick yourself up some homebrand vasoline 1$-4$ take the tails out and rub the vaso all on the front and back of the gasket where it seals, you will see a small groove. Then chuck them back on.. Quick fix if seals aren't already to far gone. done it couple months ago fixed it, had no leaking in or lights filled up with water since.

Can you post a pic of your lights man? I'm not sure what you mean by drilling the holes. you said this ages ago but i never got around to it

Already replied to prev post but basically you unscrew the light from the car

Get a drill with a drill piece approx 1cm in diameter

Insert the drill into the hole (where the light would go) and drill 2 holes per light compartment (brake light, turning light, other brake light)

Then as a test put the light back on the car and pour some water above the light, you'll notice the water now leaks out the 2 holes you drilled instead of filling up the light and then overflowing into your car

^WTF 1cm drill holes?! i used the smallest drill bit possible (not even a millimetre) and made about 8 holes all up. Next time i wash my car ill have a look. Ill try bigger holes if its not coming out fast enough

[Ironfist]

Not even a millimeter? How do you expect the water to run out, thats so small it'll probably make a water bubble!

Size does matter in this case.....

Ok the tails still all bubbly, ill be drilling bigger holes lol

I thought the point was to let air in
