Indicator light sealing/backing gasket/sponge

#1 Post by Mahesh »

Does anybody sell these ?

The one that goes behind the lens is readily available.
But not this one, which is located betwwen the body and fitting.

Or should I just make my own ?

They are the originals, but I believe they are readily available, also swapped a 730d bootlid last year and found the same type in there.

I've found the one between lens and fitting, but not the one that goes behind the light fitting to the body, can you post a link, I'm curious to see where on the site.

If it's a sponge one, my xps laminate flooring backing polystyrene gasket is probably superior, and watertight :)

Many thanks Dave, but I have since found my earlier lights, i now need a rubber boot for the back.

I know they are wrong for a later car, but do prefer the look.
