Seals n stuff

Rubber seals that sit between rear light units and bodywork have perished, and this is one of a number of areas where water is managing to get into boot.

Tried MMC and seals can't be ordered alone - come as part of complete light unit.

Any thoughts on applying a bead of sealant (e.g. sikaflex) between light unit and clam?

Also, rubber seals that run around door frames are coming loose - best way to reattach? Would a suitable glue suffice?

I superglued my front roof seal in place and its still attached ok.

Not done my rear lights, but the sealant route would get my vote...

It's not completely round - it has ears which the retaining bolts pass through.

You're obviously into getting bits made! I'll plump for the easy option of using selant and glue!
