#775, "Moisture in Altezza's"


          

I have moisture in my ALtezzaII's ...any ideas how to ge them out and seal them? I was thinking clear caulking type material but I need to get the water droplets out first.

Thanks all

The only way to let it out for sure is to put it in the sun to evaporate. Then caulk with clear silicone. That is what I have heard. Haven't had that problem with mine, thank goodness, yet!! Good luck

I had the same problem with mine too. I used the clear caulking for my center piece and it worked pretty good for me. I'm not sure what to do about the side pieces though. I still get a little moisture in those too. Recently I took off my center altezza and painted my stock piece to match the color of my car. I think it looks pretty good and i don't have to worry about water spots anymore.

Dammit....mine too. I just go the carbon fiber look altezza's. Went to wash the car and the right lense has moisture in it. Pisses me off. Did they expect our cars to never be washed?? Maybe it was the pressure washer. Does water get in there if you just use a regular hose? What brand of silicone are you guys using and where do you apply it?

ok now take out the center piece and slowly submerge them in water there are many leak points thats why i suggest this than seal with epoxy. good luck

I just got the 'Ruby Red altezzas'..with the clear red lens..

The right side has leaks..

This is what I did..

Too off the light..wrapped tissue paper firmly (with a bit of tape) around a coat hanger...stuck it through the corner blubs hole...took out all the droplets..sealed with clear silicone..

easy as that

oh come on people, fuck these ideas, use your heads. all you have to do is take out one of the bulbs and blow a hairdryer in the hole on HI. it takes about2 minutes to evaporate. (at least it did for my headlights) then use some silicon and seal them

cyan duh !! .... i did that the first time i sealed them and they leaked again and slowly purged out and the hair dryed takes awhile before even remotly evaporating all the humidity in the euro's ...they are much bigger than headlamps ... the apc's suck you really have to seal them ...before i did the submerge thing i tryed sealing them twice to no avail. they really are annoying
