Cheapo's guide: to fix a leaking tail-light gasket

**Super-DA9** · 16-06-2013 11:07 AM

I've used regular clear silicon on my tail lights before, worked perfect. It also peels off very easily so it's not hard to backtrack.

It's not a bad idea when you have a bad boot leak and a week+ wait from Honda on the gasket.

Actually cost me nothing. I already had all the tools. As I said before - if you want to buy a gasket, go ahead! It's obviously ideal.

So much heat on a small DIY

what are you trying to prove? i dont understand the logic to your comments. My gasket is fine, there is no need for replacement. If i was to replace a gasket i wouldnt make a DIY, If you need a diy thread to tell you how to replace a gasket you are to incompetent to work on a car. He preformed dodgey work on his car and your giving him props like he has done a good job.

Dudes, the OP isn't making you all do this against your will, lol.. No reason to slam him for having a go at writing up a DIY.
