Colin747 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The panel gap on my rear lights seems to start off normal and then gets progressively smaller towards the rear of the car, is there some sort of rubber washer etc. that may be missing that's causing this?

Sargara Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Looking at the photos Id say your light cluster is mounted correctly, as it mounts to the body and that is the part that is sitting flush. So If anything it is your rear bumper thats sitting slightly lower than it should, hence the bigger panel gap so nothing to do with your light at all. Theres a plastic clip/bolt thing that holds the rear bumper to the wing that is a right pain to unfasten, at a guess its been left undone when the bumper was off last time.
