Postby blackphoenix626 » Sat Feb 18, 2012 1:10 am

Lads i want to take off the drivers side fog lense but am having some difficulty. i got the unit out but jesus theres like 6 clips holding it in and when i tried to push any of them in the plastic is just bending and warping. the inside is green/yellow, from a water leak id say. is there any easy way of taking it off or am i doing it wrong? id say they havnt been taking off ever so there stuck there in place for 17 years!!

I'd assume there's sealant holding it in place. Bung it in the oven at 70 for a while and see what happens

I bought a spare set and oven baked them a few weeks ago and is piss easy. The sealant does need to be warmed up. It gets a bit messy as it starts to harden fast but you should be able to pry them open with some care without any hastle.

There is a guide on there somewhere on doing it.
