rear light steaming up / what to do with mirrors..
Hi guys, firstly i have some mk1 rear lights, theyve got no cracks etc but the one on the left i took off tonight and it had loads of water in.... i know its the seal but i was wandering if there is anything i can do to try and make it seal better ?
Secondly i dont know what to do with my mirrors... was thinking of having where its black now sprayed gold and then getting black mirror caps ?
Heres a pic
Cheers

i wouldnt drill them, take them off and dry them out, clean them all down icluding the seals and the metal bit on the car so its free of dirt etc, put some vaseline on the seals and tighten them up
the vaseline will provide a good seal and also keep the rubber subtle

Cheers for the replies, not a fan of the mirrors at all... after the shop, cheers for the shop though 
About re-sealing the rear lights, should i take it off and place it by the fire for an hour to dry it all out then clean all the seal and re-fit basically ?
Repped people whove helped ta

Had the same problem recently I did exactly what Pred said, fine now
One thing I found out at the last meet, was to tighten it up using you 19mm wheel brace. not pilliars like I was using.
