Cracked tail light mount

tried that....fail. Too much vibration for JB.
You would think that stuff would work.......I used to use that stuff successfully on everything even things i shouldn't have.......may be getting old and cynical but JB ain't what she used to be.

The frame that the lights mount on is adjustable. I moved my left one about 1/6" down to get clearance. Just mark them before you loosen the two screws so that if you get "lost" you can start over from the beginning.

Checked mine a couple of mo. ago when changing oil. Perfect originals. Looked at them again last week. Left one, bottom, broken. Not just cracked, but broken, exactly like the picture in post #1. Ordered a new one. Right side still good, but tiny cracks around the mount holes. I hope the new ones last 15 years. Not exactly cheap.

I had a light saver crack as well as shown above, unfortunately there were more broken OEM flange pieces underneath. They really should be made with a glass reinforced plastic. On a positive note, Clint did send a replacement (just the one side) right away.

Cracked Light Savers
Please give me your address and I will ship you another set for $9.95 shipping handling packaging etc. but otherwise free. The reason they crack is there isn't even support under them and they are over tightened. Put a little gasket sealer in the screw threads if you are concerned about the screws backing out but just tighten them snug. The light fixture is captured by the outside bracket mount and the Light Saver and will not fall out. Tightening the screw more does not secure the light better, it only cracks the Light Saver tabs. Anyone with cracked Light Saver tabs should just send $9.95 to porschetaillight@gmail.com, and I will ship you a set of replacements if you are in my database as a past customer, no questions asked.
