A few months ago someone was selling taillight gaskets, anyone know who it was? I want to do a bit of maintenance on my caR.

 

Water getting inside the lenses huh? I do remember someone selling them years ago, not months. Otherwise I would have jumped on it myself. I mean if you don't want to dish out $40 per side, you can make them yourself from 6mm thick craft foam (if you can find a large enough size).

 

Honda... they aren't that expensive.

 

Yeah, a little water in the trunk as well, that mildew smell drives me nuts. A couple months ago someone was selling some they made out of spare material. Once the snow clears up Ill head to Walmart and see what I can find.

Dave, I know Honda sells them. But why would I pay more for something that I can get for less?

 

You can get a pair for $60 shipped on eBay. But I'm going to my local craft store today and look to see what they have.

 

Wow, $60 is expensive. Let me know what you can find. I would be happy to buy some from you. Thanks.

 

I pulled my tail lights, applied a small amount of RTV to the compression points on the gasket, and reinstalled. No leaks.

 

I have thought of going this route. I don't usually like to go with sealants because they tend to end up messy. Thanks though.

 

I used a tiny amount of RTV. There was no mess.

 

it is me. 25$ shipped for a pair in US, a bit more to the great white north. perfect fit.

 

There he is! Pmed.

 

Couldn't find one in a similar thickness.


How do these hold up? Hold up better than OEM? The same?

 

joos got PM's back

 

I wouldn't use RTV. you may have a hard time getting the taillights off without damaging them.

 

Really? I didn't think that RTV is that sticky?

 

Damn. I remember when I had my DC. I would've loved to know about these back then. Haha.

 

microban is great at killing mildew in carpet. spray the car down and pay $50 to a local steam extraction carpet cleaner and your interior will smell and look great.

 

It only smells like mildew after it rains. Otherwise it smells normal.

 

OP, did you get the gaskets?

 

Not yet, I think I am going to though. I just want to check my car and make sure that thats where it i leaking from. It is supposed to be warm Friday so I will do it then.

 

Gotcha.
When I still had my integra, it was really obvious that the water was coming from there. There was water in the taillight itself. Haha. And I def. felt the moisture buildup too.

 

Yeah, my previous integra had water that filled the tailight almost halfway. Thats why I want to do some research first.
