taillight gasket melted, help

[botang]

I have a Nissan Sentra SE 94 and the rubber gasket between tail light and body was melted. The problem is that water can go through the melted rubber seal into truck when I drived in rainning. How do I fix this problem? Is there any rubber gasket available in the market, or this rubber seal (gasket) is fixed in the tail light so that I have to replace the whole lamp unit? Can anyone help me out?

u could just caulk round the taillight where the rubber used to be... id just buy new taillights, maybe some altezzas for like 20 on ebay...

water in the taillight wont make it pop like a headlight, but if you want cheap, go get a tube of the stuff used to put on windshields. itll seal the best.

If your paint is nice I wouldn't use regular caulk, it will eat it up. I used regular on mine though after my accident because I am poor and I had a tube lying around.

don't use urethane that is intended for a windshield, fix it with either a new gasket or replace the unit (you can get one at a junkyard for about 5 bucks, or atleast i can)
