As with all 6GC's my headlight rubber on my right side low beam lens has begun to fall out. I have tried to spread a bit of silicone on it and slip it back over the light, but that didn't hold. I want to pull the whole lens out but I'm not quite sure how they are supposed to come out. I've got the bolt from behind the turn signal, and whatever I can find up top, and it feels loose, but it doesn't come out. Do I have to move the fender or bumper? Does it just slide out? What am I missing?

Thanks it advanced!

Well, I stayed late after work tonight and pulled the bumper off. I used a high quality silicone caulking that we often use for gasket corners. It holds really well, only it takes a bit to set. It took me about an hour and a half to get it off, and about 40mins to get it back on. Changed the fog light bulbs as I was there.

The only really annoying part about it was that all my plastic shields underneath the car are really butchered at the fastening points, so it's a bit of a hassle to get that back together tongue.gif Also the two bolts by the fog lights took forever and resulted in a nice hand cramp.

Lots of effort for something that nobody but me will notice, but at least that's one thing off the "I should do that sometime" list...

Thanks guys!
