Re: Headlights
My car did the same thing...it seems the silicone sealer they used was pretty cheap...before i got new ones i tried to fix the one i had, and it worked...it was pretty easy to do........My car is 97 Regal....on the back of the headlight assembly there are to plastic retainers...slide them both up to remove the light unit...disconnect the wires...i then brought the whole unit in the house and was able to seperate the clear lense from the backing...i used a razor knife and a steak knife which had a bend on the end...after all of the old silicone was cleaned out i used a mix of windex and water, with lint free paper towells to clean both pieces...i used high heat gasket sealer and applied it to the main piece only( not the clear lense)...i reapplied the lense and used masking tape to hold it tight. and let it sit overnight...next day i replaced the headlight and has been good for 2 years and is still good....it would have been easier to just replace , but was sure any aftermarket or dealer parts would do the same thing again soon
