On my new-to-me 74, the rear tail light lenses don't seem to fit tight. They don't snug up on the inboard/reverse light section. Could they have been installed without a seal or without the proper (thick enough) seal?
I'm away from the car for a few weeks but working through issues that I noticed when it was delivered and I had about 48 hours with it - documented a number of them but didn't get the opportunity to pop the lenses off. They are euro amber/red signals - in great shape but not sure of their origin.... (the pic seems to exaggerated the gap - it's not nearly as wide as it appears, but it clearly doesn't run parallel with the body) Thanks! b |

I'll try that with the new ones - already tried that with the old ones with no joy. The reverse section of the lens seems to be too far inboard of the white nut to have much influence. These may have been over-tightened by the PO - if you look closely at the picture, the white section sticks out and then snugs up near where the post/white nut are but then starts to head back out when you get beyond that.
