Hi all,
My Zeee is in the local indy having a new gearbox fitted.
While its there I am planning to remove the rear light clusters, bring them home, dry them out and reseal them.
My question is this;
What kind of seal is used around the light cluster to weatherproof the boot interior and will it be damaged when I remove them i.e. a foam strip??
All help appreciated, its blazing sunshine in Devon today and I have no Zeee

I have done mine few weeks ago, changed one light and sealed both (Inc the new one) with clear silicone.
Used this vid to remove the light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHJa6z6e-a0

rear light cluster removal
Problem with silicon it tends to be a bit reluctant to stick to the plastic, as i found out a year after first using. I just used plenty of Evo-stik spray glue, no problems since. The video i made was probably about the five or sixth time i had these out trying to seal them with silicone. Gave up and used glue.
