Lo All
While I'm waiting for the gasket's to arrive I thought I would stick some kitchen paper below My rear lights inside the boot to see if they get wet.
Had some rain and one piece got wet.
So now I know that water is getting in on My passenger side light cluster

Lo All
I fitted My new rear light gaskets today.
When I removed the old gaskets from the light assembly I noticed that the gasket wasn't sitting on the fixing bolt collar's but had been stretched over them and was sitting behind them
This is wrong isn't it ?
I have refitted them with the new gaskets resting on top of the collar's.
Can someone please confirm this is correct please
Cheers

Lo
Anyone confirm this please ?
I don't want to leave them too long if I have fitted them wrong
Cheers all

I refitted mine on top of the collars like you have but the old ones were behind them. The boot has been dry since they were fitted over a year ago.

Thanks very much for that
I thought it odd as with it behind the collar it's metal against metal
Cheers for Your reply matey

Yep, shouldn't be stretched behind, should be sat over.

My whole car is flooded at the moment,

I’ll post some pictures up later but it’s so scary.

Removed the whole carpet, all the seats and the whole bolt cleared out. Couple of bungs are missing so need to find the replacement.

Hope it hasn't caused too much damage
Cheers
