New headlight sealant how to apply

Показать описание

Want to close your headlight with a new sealing? Removed permaseal from your headlight? This is the product you need!

With the softer types of headlight kit, it's usually not necessary to remove the old and apply new headlight sealant. Normally there's more then enough sealing inside the channel of the headlight to close up properly again after baking the headlight open. In some cases it is necessary, for example with headlights that use a permanent kit (permaseal) which doesn't get soft when heated. This material is perfect for the job.

Applying this sealant is easy. Apply the strip in the channel of the headlight housing. At room temperature it's soft and can be stretched easily to reach the thickness you need. Push lens back on to the housing, and heat the headlight again in an oven to soften the kit. Squeeze the lens on the housing and make sure that any excisting clips are snapped back into place. Watch our video for applying instructions.

It's a roll of 9,5mm wide and 4,5 meters long. That's more than enough to seal 2 headlights back up against moisture.

I just retrofitted lights in my '11 ram. that had permaseal. Put the lights in the oven at 275F for 10 minutes, then used a flat blade to seperate the seal. threw them back in for another 5 minutes and I was able to pull the lens off. To get the permaseal out of the seal chamber I put the housing backs in for 7 minutes, then used the screw driver to scrape all the permaseal out. All in all it was about 30 minutes per light total.

Hello my friend, Thank you for posting. I have a question, if the headlamp is one Hella for example that has staples like the Up you did, this safe glue the lens perfectly ? If so you have some secret to this happen?

Все четко и понятно даже без комментариев, спасибо.Thx

looks to me if you had clamped it with about 6 or 8 small steel clamp all around then it would have had a perfect seal but messing around with pliers is not really guaranteeing a good seal and fitment....

Thanks for the video.

I recently purchased some of that sealant. Hopefully a new seal will stop water getting into my headlights and killing my ballasts!

My headlights are rather large and won't fit in my oven and unfortunately I don't have a heat gun either. Will a hairdryer suffice?

I have full LED headlights, i i put them into the oven, will that damage the LED bulb? P.S. I can't remove the bulb from behind.

Stuff works great. I've reinstalled my headlights and ran my car through a couple washes and no moisture. So far so good. =) However, i have another question: I read someones post on a forum complaining that butly tape caused his headlights to develop a sort of film on the inside because of the fumes overtime or w/e...Is this a credible concern?

if i don't have this type of sealant can i use silicone ?

I got wires from a led on the headlights that uhh need to seal if I put it on the oven the temperature probably melt the wires can I use a heat gun? or the wires will be safe in the oven?

great video, thank you. I just opened up my headlights and painted them..blah blah. ended up getting a lot of condensation in one headlight so I plan to reseal them the way you did in this video. how did you manage to remove all of the original sealant?
