Thread: Glue/Sealant to Use On New Headlight Covers

A quick check on the internet recommends Loctite 595 or Butyl rubber tape.

Thanks for those recommendations, the Loctitie 595 looks to be what is needed.

Cheers

Give Loctite a call on their Customer Service line. They will tell you which is the exact product to use.

I'm in the same boat, but yet to order the replacement headlight lenses for my 2013 D4.
Any recommendations or tips on which offerings to go with?
Will any Ali Express one do, or some are higher quality than others?

I'm interested for taillight covers on the L322.

^^ I didn’t see anything about adhesive.

I watched one vid which suggested they used windscreen sealant - but that's difficult to remove again.

This guy suggested using butyl which was apparently used on older models - just in case you need to replace the lenses again.

Im wondering whether polish and cover with PPF might be worth a try.
