Hi folks.
Wondering if people have any suggestions for sealing up a crack/split in the headlight of my D2?
I don't want to run out and buy a new light as I'm going to facelift it but I'm getting sick of it filling up with water....

Silicone? Glue? Something else?
Cheers

Drill a drain hole for the water to get out (in the plastic body section).

Or drill a "filler" hole in the top of the light and keep it topped right up.

That way you wouldn't see a waterline across the headlight and noone would ever know......................... :p

you can buy an adhesive protector film for headlights....that'll waterproof it.

btw it stops rocks from braking the lens....I know now too late after breaking 2 in 12months.

None of that pink Miss Piggy OAT in MY headlights! :mad:
Was after the car-wash, several months ago. Still not fully dried out :p
