I had a PM about sourcing the rubber seals...but can't reply due to being new here...seals, they cost little.
If you google NITRILE-70-RUBBER-O-RINGS-2-5MM-CROSS-SECTION-2MM-ID-15MM you will find them.

From memory, 3mm ID is about right and should stretch over the plastic washer jet spigot and rest in the tiny groove. Silicone grease to lubricate/seal before pushing into the light unit.

So what you are saying is after you've put the rubber thing on lubricate it and push it in the unit ? I'll get me coat

Just reuse the rubber seal, but swear silicone (grease ) on both sides
Worked for me 3 years +

After 3 replacements on warranty I now have a strip of black insulating tape covering the top join. Bodge works. Can't really see it against the Loire blue, but hey, its a true Land Rover

Incidentally Captain Tolleys leaks sealer is pretty good for sneaky leaks too, much used on the yacht. FL2 Ex D2, D3, RRS, etc. now all gone.

Forgive my crude drawing but I hope you get the idea.

I removed all the previous gunk and stuck the profile directly on the lamp - when you press it back on there is enough spring to allow the lamp retaining clips to click into pleace - so far it is holding up well no sign of any further leaks  No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

"Fiat Lux" a philosophy not a car

Thanks for this. Will see what the SI grease on existing rubber foam seal does first
Got some of this e profile stuff. But for gaps of 1.5 to 3mm. Should be ok. Also got some neoprene adhesive sealant tape that looks like what is on there already

Hello

Did you put this on top of the existing foam rubber seals or around the edges of it ?

Just wondering if I put it on top it will be too thick for the light to 'snap' back into place

No connection with the seller but why not just replace the seal.

I bought the very item & it leaked worse than the old gasket

Yes it leaks, but the downpours have been exceptional. Looks like it’s the e profile window seal next. Getting a bit fed up of this now

Can't find the seller I used now but bought something like these and excellent seal. The old one had compressed. Remember to clean surfaces before you stick it back on the light unit and apply a little wipe of Vaseline to the bodywork.

Maybe I didn’t clean enough of the old gunk from the existing one. There was still a bit of glue on it. I did rub it with ims though but msybe not enough. Ive got sellotape on the outside now in these downpours ! Poor show
