Who is the guy on here that sells those gaskets for the 94-01 tails? I need a pair. There better than stock i guess. Thanks.

 

I would just stick with OEM parts. I cant see how an aftermarket gasket would be better than OEM.

Just go to the dealer or online from acuraautomotiveparts.org.

 

I make em

If you wanna pay 27 bux for oem, you go right ahead, lol
BTW: Aftermarket can be better then oem

I made my own set following ragejed's methods... they are thicker than stock but that makes the taillights stick out slightly. I used 2 layers of 3mm foam for a 6mm gasket, which may be too thick, but hey it stopped my trunk leaking.

 

ya, I make mine same width as stock ones now

 

Just curious...How do you make them? Do you have a thread outlining the details?

All I found was this in your archived threads: fixing water in tailights

 

Check my sig

 

DUH!! Thanks!

 

it prevent moisture in the taillight..and in the trunk

 

without that gasket, water will enter the light housing (if alot, short out and corode the lights). You will get water in the trunk area, causing mold, mildew and a NASTY smell if left for any amount of time.


Not to mention the windows will always be all fogged up and harder to clear due to all the moisture in the cabin.

 

what material do u use to make them?

 

damn its amazing what a little piece of foam can do huh?

 

Check my sig

 

Yeah my rear glass always got fogged up really bad on the inside, plus I had small puddles in the trunk, causing corrosion on all my jack tools, jack, etc.

Made new gaskets and all is well.

Only problem with mine is I couldn't find any foam stuff longer than 18" (Integra taillight gaskets are about 20" long), so I had to splice two pieces end to end (the splice on each layer of foam is offset from each other so it becomes like a solid piece).

 

My tail lights were fogged up but I fixed it w/out changing the gasket. I just removed the light assembly, dried it with a hair dryer and put a dab of gasket maker into the one hole on the top toward the rear quater panel side of the car. Fixed the problem and been water free for about a year.

 

Ya, this is why I make them and sell em

Its hard to find the material. I had to find a wholesale company to sell me in bulk, wasent easy.

 

i.ve just noticed the same prolem on the reverse light part of the passenger side rear tail-light...****.

 

yeah, i ordered mine ragejed. they work great, but yeah the taillight does stick out a bit, but hey thats better than the nice pool that my trunk used to have.

 

Ya, I did a revision of the gasket
Mine are now as thick as stock ones.

Glad u like tho

hey man, are the ones you sent me the new style you do??
i'm putting them in this weekend when i do my s2k antenna

 

Yup, you got the new ones. Let me know how they fit!. If they still stick out too much (which they shouldnt) ill make them 1 more mm thinner.

 

this makes me want to check my gaskets..
