What is the correct position of the tail light gasket relative to the tail light panel? I looked in my assembly manual and couldn't find anything.....but there were 5 pages dedicated to spare tire arrangements!
I replaced the tail light panel and am having difficulty with the lights. The panel has a lip facing inward. It looks like the gasket would go around the outside of that lip and the bright trim on the tail light would nest inside of the lip, with nothing separating the lip from the bright trim. One surface of the gasket would rest on the vertical part of the bright trim, and one side on the vertical part of the panel. Is that correct?
The tail light hangers on the upper side of the tail light cutouts are mounted very close to this lip. I looked at my original and there is probably 1/2" of clearance between the lip and the hanger. This is preventing the gasket from sitting against the inside surface of the panel. I wish I had looked at this before I welded in the panel!
