water leak / trunk button
Hello,
I discovered that there is a water leak coming from the 3rd brake light. Upon researching, I learned that there is no separate gasket for it so I need to replace the whole brake light. I am thinking of applying RTV silicone around the brake light to seal it what are your guys' thoughts on this? Rust-prone? Calling for disaster later? https://www.permatex.com/products/ad...-sealant-3-oz/ Also, the trunk button came off.... how do I put this back? it doesn't snap back into it.

Game Plan
Okay guys, I got a game plan, huge one.
1. Remove the third brake light, apply permatax ultra-black silicone (non-corrosive, used in gaskets in engine parts ) instead of the BS tape that only comes with the brake light with no replacement for it. OR i will take suggestions. 2. Just ordered two F25 tail light board so i can finally fix it. I just need to get 10mm socket and the thing to turn the socket. (is this right) but I need some guidance in few parts hand-pryed the plastic trims, that was pretty easy. so I noticed the two things that are connected to the third brake light, seems like if I remove these two I can remove the brake light on the left on the right how do I remove the thing on the right? the left one looks like if I just wiggle it a bit and it will come off and then IF when i successfully remove those two things connected to the third brake light Do these just get pulled out easily from outside? and what is this screw?, is it any of importance? :cry also, isnt there supposed to be like a clip on the side of this trunk switch? ohhhhhh, I just realized its ON BACKWARDS!! ( ? ) maybe no, idk.... T^T just checked thats not it. something is def missing. it wasn't like this. whats this part even called? Last edited by bmwproblems925; 08-13-2023 at 03:01 AM.. |
