Caramanos2000 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Im going to be removing the rear tail lights on my GL wagon and was wondering if there was anything I need to look out for? Are they held on by that black gooey stuff? Were do I get this stuff to re-seal them when I put them back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 yes there are like 3 or 4 nuts holding them on from the inside of the cargo area, and a ring of that black goo. All I suggest is dont pry too hard when you are taking off the light as you can crack the edge of the lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoobieDoo Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 The black goo is butyl rubber, and I would recommend using that above anything else. Even silicone would be too permanent, and you may crack the lens in getting it off again. I used DAP gutter and flashing butyl rubber in a caulk tube. Gray or white, no black...who cares!?!
