GS Headlamp rubber seal .

[masser1]

Just noticed rubber seal on headlamp glass (obout 3 inches )has gone in on corner nearest grill , other side is showing signs of doing the same . any ideas how to restore to normal position and how to keep it there ?
think there was a thread on this before but cant find it .

possibly on other side

cheers

You been waving that pressure washer about toooo close again havent you Peter, how many times must i tell you boys the right way to do it Peter is to remove the front undershield and the front inner wheel arch liner, which will give yo access to the brackets that need slight adjustment ,

You need to pull the rubber seal out gently to where it should be , a fine fishing hook is handy for this , i have a wooden wedge i use too keep the headlight in place and under pressure so the seal keeps trapped between the lense and the bodywork whilst i undo the front bracket a turn or two and apply more upwards pressure with the wedge and then re-tighten the brackets.

hope this helps but it will all become clear once the wheel arch is off , there is also a how too under tech fixes with some photo;s

Many thanks for the info Loz , i dont use a pressure washer ,but having spoken to Richard Noble earlier in the year about aerodynamics ,

i suppose it could have been caused by air speed / pressure!!!!!!!!!!!!!
