56791, How to seal a headlight after being taken apart?
Posted by TKI, Sep-07-03 08:45 AM
One of my friends has a set of '97 headlights that he wants to sell to me for $75, the only thing is, is that he had taken one of the lens of the headlight, but he said that they are perfect, and that he would put them back together.
I was thinking about telling him that I would just put them back together, and go ahead and pick them up.
What would I need to use to re-seal the healight? Would silicone glue work?
Any help is appreciated!

If there is still enough original sealant in there, you could just rebake it and press it back together. Just a thought sir! ;)

put it back in the oven for about 4 minutes at 350 degrees F. then press the lens against the housing

I used normal clear silicone. Seems to work just fine.
