    License plate lens for 99-04

    Noticed the gaskets around these replacement ones were shit and they crumbled away.

    Was off of a Doner (thanks Gus!)

    Was thinking of using this seal. Thoughts?

    From the pics I found online, looks like a thin strip of butyl rubber. You can still find it at many glass stores. If you can't locate, pretty sure I still have some, can't reach me until later this afternoon.

    Shhweet! Might be a hassle for me to go all the way to you but I'll consider it if I really can't find stuff around me. I found this in the mean time:

    If it's thin enough = good to go

    Found a thick rubber material that a coworker gave me and cut out something that resembles a circle lol

    Old gasket on the right.

    Perfect, your all set.
    Tighten screws just hint beyond snug so you don't break it.

    Those gaskets were way too big. I made thinner ones and they fit good. Problem is that I left one of the bulbs empty and didn't plug the connector in and somehow water got in and froze inside of the empty lens.

    I'm trying to figure out if it's just because when I lifted the hood water dripped in or if the 3rd break light is letting in water... Really getting frustrated

    Why didn't you put the bulb and socket back in? It would allow the water to get in, more than likely melted snow.
