Anyone know the part number for the tail light gaskets on the CRX? I think that's the problem most people been having on why their hatch leak so I want to replace them. Because that's the problem for me. ANyways let me know and if you know a place where it's a bit cheaper let me know. Checked already with the local dealers still in the $50s-$60s so yeah. ANyways TIA and let me know

 

no one?...thought I trt to get the part # tonight but guess not so...bump

 

have you thought about using silicon?

if you want gaskets check out http://hondapartsdeals.com ,they've always had good prices.

 

I went to walmart and bought a bag of "craft foam".

It's just sheets of foam, exactly like the stock gaskets. I took the stockers, traced them on the sheets with a sharpie and cut it out with scissors. Done. Cost $4.99.

I'll look if I can find it there..and see if I'm willing to pay for them...no part number? Okay....Yeah I was thinking about using silicon to seal it at first but gasket were old and DRY cuz CRX is from AZ and damn thing needs a new paint job too and bad so faded it's almost like pink in color But at least it's almost rust free

When I pulled them out and saw the condition of it I was actually thinking to myself "I could just cut this out with some sort of foam"

Well I give the parts a looky first and see first and if I'm too cheap to order them then I'll see if I can find the right foam and give it a try first before I order? (which I was going to order them)

 

Oh BTW how are they holding to the rain? (Tippyman) any leaks?

Yeah, that exact stuff. I had to use three layers because they ran out of the thick stuff.

I haven't had a single drop of water since!

 

All right sounds good....But how long has it been since you had that in? Just wanted to know/see if the foam gets dry from the heat/sun...thanks Will try and find some craft foam this weeken then...

It's actually denser and "rubberier" than the stock gasket. I've had it for over a year now, in both freezing temps and in 100+ temps, no issues.

 

Oh forgot I take it those, the foam you use are adhesive right??? If it is it would probaly be better? since it stick and there's really no space for rain/water to seep in VS having it just laying against it where water still can leak in overtime......I would think =P

 

Well went and bought some "crafts foam" but got the smaller sheets so gotta take it back tomorrow and buy the bigger sheets =P Forgot to measure/check how long the coner lights were =P Oh well but THANKS....I'll see how they hold up for me once I get the longer sheets....

 

eh just wanted to know how many sheets did you guys use?????????????thanks

 

OH yeah 3 layers....BUT are they the one with the adhesive side...because those are smaller and the ones without the adhesive are bigger/longer fits to the corner lights...let me know thanks

BTW the picture showed is the one with the adhesive which is the smaller foam and there the bigger one but no adhesive so like to know....

 

You don't need adhesive. I smeared a small amount of silicone between them to keep them together.

 

No???They pictures showed was the one with the adhesive so I went and got those, but it's shorter then the ones without the adhesive which fit for the corner tailight so I went and got them instead(none adhesive)....so you silicone in between but did you silicone a bit on the backing before you place it or no? Just woundering....well okay thanks I'll do that....3 layers/silicone okay THANKS

It doesn't matter if it's got adhesive or not.

Just use as many layers as it take to equal the stock thickness or a little bit bigger. It's not really rocket science. To hold them together I just smeared a little silicone between the sheets. Then bolt it in like a stock gasket once they dry.

 

yeah I figure =P "It's not really rocket science" but when you guys had that picture on I went looking for that which I did get and had to do the running back and forth to get the none adhesive one which was the bigger one that FIT because I forgot to measure how long the corner tailights were =P BUT okay THANKS
