Hi,
A few weeks ago, I have cleaned and restored the tail lamp units on my 71 Mach 1. I also use new repro rubber seals on them.
Question:
Do they seal sufficient against the metal tail panel with the 4 mounting points or is it recommended to use additional RTV or other sealer to install them. Did the factory use sealer?
When I got the car, there was a huge worm of different types of bathroom silicone around the contact surfaces and the rubber seal was only fragments...
greetings from Germany,
Michael
