resealing sti rear lights??
 

can anyone give me detailed instructions (pics if possible) on how to remove the rear lights cos ive got a bit of a swimming pool in the boot and its not really the weather!!! look forward to your directions.

Is it a classic mate? If so its not that hard to do. Remove the boot liner side peices and then there should be 2 nuts per side that hold in the lights.

Now for the fun bit. The lights use some sort of "never go off" bonding agent that makes it a pig to get the lights out. I used a wooden ruler to help prize the lights out aided with moderate pressure form the inside of the boot. Be careful as they are easy to break.

No pics though.

cheers mate got to sort it soon!!

2 nuts???? I think it's more like 5 per side.
The best thing to do is heat the area where the light is sealed with a hair dryer. Do this for a good 5 minutes and the light should slide out easily. :)

Yeah, it's 5 or 6 per side, and the "heating it first" will be needed in this weather.

You might need some more non-setting goo too: car paint suppliers or caravan dealers will sell it.
DON'T use silicone if you think you might ever need 'em out again.

Just about to fit some new lights myself, any idea what this non setting goo is called?

Can it be bought online??

Cheers

ok, ok, 5 nuts per side!!

Its a long time since I did mine! And is was dark! LOL

Sorry, can't help you with it's name, mine was 15 years old when I gave it to a mate for his 'van, and it was still good.

A phone call to a caravan dealer would set you right, they'd post it too. Mine needed one of those mastic guns for delivery. Try www.yell.com

Looking for something else, just found the stuff. My mate obviously used the bit he wanted and gave it me back.

It's called (WAS called) CARAFAX CARASEAL, IDL99, made by Carafax Ltd, Rotterdam Rd, Sutton Fields ind est, Hull, East Yorks, 01482 825941.
