so im experimenting trying to find replacements for my taillight gaskets on my 95 integra. so far ive tried foam sheets but they are really thin and im going to double them up. any other suggestions? oem ones are 70 bucks, trying to avoid silicon as its pretty messy. i hear about neoprene but no place near me sells that.

 

They're only 27.34 each + shipping here:

If you're dead set on making them yourself, you can get neoprene sheets (and just about anything else) delivered to you on the internet.

a write up i did.

 

You're asking at the perfect time of year. Go to Home Depot, Menard's, Lowe's, or other Big Box hardware store.

Go to the section of the store where they have window weatherstripping. There, they will have rolls of light, open-cell foam that's available in several thicknesses, up to about 1/2". It's usually white. Find the 3/8" thickness, or as close to that as you can. The minimum you should get would be 1/4". The foam will have self-adhesive film on one side. Get one of those rolls.

Use that foam to recreate your old gasket, sticking it to the light assembly. Make sure any seams face DOWN so water can't drip into them! Install.

 

so just the outline of the old gaskets?
sounds interesting. ill give it a shot if the foam sheets dont work.
