Its not a fun job.

I've seen Paul at ARR do a few of these and after several years of practice its still a job he hates doing. It still takes him a couple of hours a side to remove and refit, and I'm sure he comes in from behind so to speak!

Its a botch of a job getting the old ones out but I found putting the new ones in ok. I had a litre of thinners to hand and used copious amounts to clean off extra sealant....it worked! Wouldnt want to do it again for the nightmare of getting the old bits out and squeezing the light units out to get to the back of the covers.
