Talking plug up hole
hey guys,

any ideas on how to plug up a small hole in the headlight? i posted about a week ago when water was getting in through the pebble sized hole at the base of the crack in my headlight. it's going to rain again tomorrow and i don't want more water gettin' in :p

tape or epoxy to fill the hole?

thanks!

lol, good question. ummm, check with autozone first. i think i've seen some small silicone tubes. maybe homedepo has some small ones. donno. but silicone will be the best cuz it's flexible in the heat and doens't come off in water.

i just picked up some silicone sealant made by GE (Silicone II). It's clear with "superior adhesion, permanently flexible, will not shrink and durable watertight seal".

I will put it on tomorrow when i get a chance!

Thanks guys.
