Any Advice on Re-Sealing Hawkeye Taillights
Hello
has anyone had any luck Resealing the Rear lights on a Hawkeye with
1.Butyl Rubber Glue Headlight
2. betaseal 1407 -i have used this to bond in Windows on Quarter panels in the past
3.gutter Sealant like this from screw fix https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsen...B&gclsrc=aw.ds
3.Loctite 595 Superflex Clear Silicone Headlamp, Headlight & Light Cluster Sealant
I was thinking of Warming the light up first with a heatgun at a low setting to evaporate the condensation and then re applying the sealant around the circumference of the light
and possibly changing the rubber seals behind the lights if needed
if anyone else has already dont this job I would appreciate any input or advice
Thanks

60° in a cooker for 45min will do job better than heat gun , rears are pain to split

Thank you for the reply
did you have the same issue with water and condensation collecting in your tail lights ?
did you use Butyl Rubber Glue ? and once complete did it prevent the issue happening again ?
