Spoiler brake light hanging off - dont want to replace it - any options?

[m.r.davies]

Noticed this morning my rear spoiler brake light was hanging off and connected by the power wire

the plastic on the back of it seems to have snapped so it doesn't hold in place, i can sit it back in, and it holds for a while, but eventually falls out after 30 mins of driving.

The light still works fine, and its a pig of a job to replace, so i dont really want to take it all apart etc, and was wondering if anyone has had this issue and done a work around fix?

cheers

Mate, you seem to be on a mission lately!

ha, yeh i am.... the car is getting old now i guess.

just need a personal plate next so no-one knows how old it is!

You could get some 'trim' tape from halfords (that double sided tape you use to stick badges on cars) to stick it back on??

I'd got for sticking it back on/on. You could use velcro.
If you want it like new you'll need a new spoiler and can't imagine these would be cheap

There was a part number floating around for the actual brake light.

Lee, I've replace this for MOT and it was £35, and thats David at Seremotors prices.

Yup if its obscured (in my case with flees and mold) or not working
