indicator light in wing come loose

Post by rtd » Wed Jul 07, 2010 11:54 pm

my rhd side indicator light (the one in the wing near the door) has come loose. can't see any fixings to push it back into looks like it was glued in originally - is that correct?

anyway any ideas on how to correct this do i need a new light housing etc?

Mine on the opposite side has the same problem now. Very annoying. A common problem I've learnt.

Looking at options also.

Considering some very thin double sided sticky tape - like the stuff used for badges etc?

Yep this has happened to me on my S4 a couple of times over the years. You either need to buy new as they come with a clip that secures it to the wing....Or like stumpy says use a strong double sided tape, which is what i have now done to my drivers side one as the clip broke. It holds up well, jet wash no problem 140+ mph (private road ofcourse) and it stays put.... :thumbs:
Hmmm, its fast but is it fast enough!!!
