Can you not clean wash off the rubber seals and then use ordinary clear silicone seal all around. It has worked well for me in the past. Bob

740 rear lights
Hi,
Another option in line with the good advise as above would be to remove the lights and clean and dry the seals and apply petroleum jelly either side of the seal to displace the water. That should be enough to keep water out and if needed you can remove lights again with ease.

Of course, you could source some suitable foam rubber on eBay (over to you Laird Scooby!!) and use the existing as a template. I know that if you get either Volvo or Depo replacement lenses they come with new seals. Bob

You never know but it is possible that your local Volvo Main Dealer can get them (it's amazing what odd things remain available if they know how to source them, or my choice would be to contact FRF by phone. Bob
