Any recommendations for sealants to use when fitting tail lights to the car body.    

[GTRMaxhunter20]

Non-skinning mastic - ie cool room mastic etc. Avoid polyurethanes and silicones which will cure and perform as an adhesive sealant that permanently bonds the assembly in place.

^^^^ I used Bostick black windscreen sealant which is similar to mastic.

Used this 3M sealant. It is good stuff. Bit hard to get hold of but worth the effort

Look at the mating surface as has been said & yes wax & grease ect clean up, just like a windscreen. Use a quality W & g & if you have already polished the car, the w & g will remove the polish. Do the job in the shade.

Do you need to take chrome surrounds off ?.

That would be a good idea. It'll get messy otherwise.

Selleys Butyl Mastic if you can find any
