Lamp Lens Replacement, Rear

Removal

 WARNING: EYE PROTECTION MUST BE WORN.

1. The lamp assembly will not have to be removed from the vehicle to replace the lens.

2. Using a screwdriver, pry off the damaged lens which is presently attached to the lamp body with a butyl seal. Be careful not to damage the lamp body or break the bulbs.

3. Remove all of the existing butyl seal from the lamp body by scraping with a small screwdriver.

Installation

NOTE: Special care should be taken to avoid bunching or tearing the seal when applying around corners.

1. Starting at a drainage notch location on the lamp lens or body, apply a strip of Ford Windshield and Backlite Seal D9AZ-19562-A or equivalent around the perimeter of the lamp body.

   Add lens retainers where applicable.

    CAUTION: Avoid applying pressure to the middle of the lens to keep from breaking the new part.

2. Firmly press the replacement lens into position and hold for 10 seconds, ensuring that the butyl tape seals the lens to the body around the entire perimeter.
