Hi guys n gal's, simple question here, I'm just changing some globes in the rear tail lights. The lense just flops about. Is there supposed to be a seal between the plastic lense and the body of the light assembly? Cheers.

Piece of high density closed cell foam from someone like Clark Rubber... Or the underlay they use under wooden floating floors is pretty close in thickness and even colour. Only takes a few minutes to trim to size.

Cheers, Ian
