in need of some tail light gaskets anyone re popping them ?? If so who?

If you have an extra set I can get them made.

From where?

I could do with a set as well. Anybody know where these can be bought from or how to make them. My rear lights have been glued in with silicon probably will break when i try to get them out. Spent a half a day trying to get them out.

I wouldn’t mind getting a set of taillight gaskets, myself.
There is a spare pair of taillights in my garage – but if I recall correctly, the white foam gaskets are not that good – so not sure if they will work for templates (or not).
If wanted, I can dig 'em out and look see.

I checked there website and they don't cover M body cars, he certainly doesn't appear to stock them, however he does sell the lens gasket materials in bulk

I bought a few feet of dense rubber foam stuff from EBay and cut my own gaskets, wasn’t hard to do. Worked like a charm and no leaks. May have been a closed cell foam.

Probably the easiest. I will look for some suitable foam on ebay. The only problem is I can not get the lights out, I spent half a day trying but they are glued in. I'm probably going to try and buy another set of lights and break the original ones up to get them out.

Before you do that try squirting some paint thinner around where they meet the body. Let it soak and see if it releases.

Good suggestion, thanks. I could even use gasoline, I know silicon will breakdown when soaked with this.
