Read this guide this morning and jumped straight in. I'm just going to put a couple of low res pics up of the process as we have all seen it before...
1. Start
2. Tail lights off
3. Bumper unscrewed and eased back, plenty of access if you are dextrous
4. Rear cluster out
5. Prepared on baking tray
6. Baking - I did Gas Mk.6 for 1 minute, 45 secs & another 45 secs
7. Then pealed back completely
8. Red lense just pulled out (a bit gluey) and the mirrored reflector was just 2 plastic studs with melted heads.
9. Back together and baked for another minute, squeezed it on all edges then another 30secs, ready to go back in
10. All back together
I did have one problem though which the cause happened before I owned the car. In the year and a bit I've had the car I had always noticed hair line fractures in the paint just below the rear cluster. A small impact of some sort - no major damage.
When I got the cluster out there was a crack across it and the electrical connector was broken.
The crack was behind the metal part which is now removed. Sealed up the crack with a hot glue gun and all good, the connector still 'clicks' in so ok there.
The eagle eyed of you will notice the crack through the lense but only if your looking for it.
I'm happy for now, but a new rear cluster has been added to the ever growing shopping list!
