sealing foam S90-V90 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be flup on  Thu Feb 3 08:01 CST 2005 [RELATED]

When you take the light assembly off you'll probably find (if it's anything like my 240) a foam/rubber gasket that compresses to make a tight seal between the light assembly and the metal. Over time, and especially through warm / cold cycles, the foam can shrink a bit and start to leak. Just taking off the light and reinstalling it was enough to make the foam do it's work again for me... while you have the light off, make sure there are no cracks in the plastic that would allow the water to seep through. Good luck!!!
