[Phill1978]

hi,

leaking badly in the rear seems to come left light cluster. has had a rear sunt and a bad repair which has been sorted but i wonder if there is some kind of sealent i can use, i know the metal is galvanised but i dont take kindly to this level of water its like a swimming pool sometimes, ive left it a month or so and finally now ive decided that it needs doing before i recarpet the back where the rear seats where

Try silicone sealent only a couple of pounds for a tube.

Have lights got "black foam seals" ???????????????????

Also position cables, so as wires run UP into car not DOWN........

Undo knob,release rear lights, where cables enter car, lights should have a foam seal / gasket.

Reassemble then,

Position wires so they are pointing up into car, water only runs down.
