Thread: Re-attaching D2 high mount stop light.

Don't know if this helps, but the whole assembly is not too pricey. Part # XFG100330

Ordinary super glue works well on rubber and plastic. Loctite make a fancier super glue that might be even better than the cheap stuff, 401 is the grade.

Thanks Guys, I have picked up the inner lens/reflector part of the assembly and it has the foam gasket attached. I will have to remove the old foam gasket but there is a smoothish surface on the new one to adhere to the etched black surround on the glass.

I'll hunt around for suitabel glues and post again when I find a suitable one and it works.

Can you post a photo of it please?

I had mine out completely with the transfer case attached. I stood mine on end so the input shaft inside the bell housing was pointing to the sky. I then put the torque converter on and lined up the 'dog clutch' i think it's called.

Carefully ensured it stayed in the correct location.

Anyway, either way you do it, i found this information very useful. I used a straight edge across the face on the bell housing and a digital micrometer to measure it, but you could use a tape measure.

Could a mod please delete this? I posted this in the incorrect thread.

I was told a number of times that I needed 'windscreen glue' and any windscreen establishment would have it.

After the second, "No we don't", I purchased a small tube of silicone...

Windscreen silicone is a good idea and I think I'll give that a go. I took a couple of pics of the inner bulb housing and foam gasket as requested. There is a smoother but more adhesive friendly surface on the face of the gasket. Doing this from the phone so let's hope they come through!

Rather than silicone use Sikaflex. More durable for automobiles. 227 is available at most hardware places.
