Back working on my car and found trunk has some water in it,located the leak to the LH side light,sealing rubber is good but lense is bent so seal not contacting housing.
I remember some folks heating their poor fitting aftermarket ones to correct this issue ,would be interested to hear from those that have done this. Kinda cautious about this as its a genuine lense and in good condition besides. TIA,cheers |

The first set of tail light lens seals I bought were complete junk. Much smaller diameter and harder than the original seals. I bought a second set from AA and they took quite awhile to arrive, but were a dead match for the originals and sealed much better.
