MarkJ Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 my car appears to be missing a seal to the headlight lens (almost a rubber band that goes around the lens before fitting it back in the headlight assembly. It stops moisture getting inside the lens. But looking at Matts site it looks like the wrong seals are listed? This should be the lens seal but looks too wide, more like the one that goes between wing and body https://type911shop.co.uk/epages/de867ca1-377e-432e-84fd-bdccf2206766.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/de867ca1-377e-432e-84fd-bdccf2206766/Products/1510 whereas this looks to be the correct lens seal by the image (narrower) but is listed as the seal between body and headlight. https://type911shop.co.uk/epages/de867ca1-377e-432e-84fd-bdccf2206766.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/de867ca1-377e-432e-84fd-bdccf2206766/Products/1500 can someone clarify? its missing from both my headlights so want to order a pair. (haven't got my parts diagrams as they are on my work pc). Shame i'd already put my new amber headlight back together before seeing a photo of a lens with a seal around the edge! ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) I'm pretty sure it's the first one. When I returned my lights one of the seals wasnt located/seated correctly at all. The second one is definitely the light unit to wing seal. Edited April 27, 2020 by Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Rock Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 2nd one looks like the headlight unit to wing seal, goes over the lip in the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 oh okay so it is a wider one that goes around the lens edge? I had assumed it was a narrow one that followed the profile of the lens edge. Strange both are missing! Some P-specialist has cut corners in the past...

Dr Rock Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 You are The narrow seal has to fit between the lip of the headlight bowl and the wing. You will struggle to get the light over the lip, keep it in place @ 12 o'clock and then get the screw @ 6 o'clock in place and not strip the captive thread in the headlight bowl...
