Rear light seals

Post by Loz »

Hello chaps,

Has anyone found it necessary to trim down the rear light seals? Just got round to fitting the original light units and when fitting the Porsche supplied grey rubber seals, the lenses protrude a little more than I'd like. I've looked at photos etc and the lense appears to sit flush with the panel.

If anyone can share their experiences I'd be most grateful.

Many thanks

Get shaving!

I had to cut about 1/2 of the seal away to get mine to sit right. It’s a bit fiddly but worth it

Thanks Gary, I thought it must be the seals.
