Rear Side Marker Bezel.

[Alan_Mac 48]

Since there isn't a gasket between the rear side marker bezel and the quarter panel outside surface what do you use to seal out water?  There is no reference to any sealing method in the ford shop manual.  There is a channel on the back of the flange, I was thinking a small bead of clear silicone would be the trick.

70 rear marker lights mount differently.

The nuts had a putty washer under the nut head ,i seem to remember some type of foam gasket

Foam gaskets for both 69 and 70, 

Lights are different too

NPD has a cheap looking white plastic foam seal. Don't know how it can be waterproof and as I won't use them guess I'll never know. 

Years ago I sold a fender to a fellow member who was so pleased to get oem  steel,  along with a letter he included 4 self made marker gaskets. I'm gonna have to check the letter to remember his name. Hey, I'm 61-1/2 :)

My repro side markers had those foam gaskets but they were too thick and stiff, I whacked them with a hammer and burst the cells in the foam and then they fitted nicely.

I would use 3m 08578 strip calk. Apply under the bezel, mount and tighten, clean the squeeze out. I use it under the nuts for quarter panel extensions, mouldings, under the pins of emblems etc to eliminate water seeping through the holes.

The 70 bezels have only about ~ .200 wide flange with a channel in it that  leaves only a ~ .100 mounting surface.  NPD sells a gray foam gaskets but they are way too big and just wrong.  I'll us the 3M strip caulk in the channel or maybe clear silicon since I have a white car.   Thanks for the feedback.

Why? Because they will be harder to remove?

There was a member on here that was trying to sell these. He sent me a set for free to try but I never heard where this ended up. They work great

70 bezels have a really narrow flange ~ .175 wide.  A thin die cut rectangular gasket could work. Maybe I could make a set out of an tire inner tube?  They would need to be precision cut so they look like they belong.  Thanks for the input. I still think a thin bead of clear silicone inside the flange channel would work well.  Only ease of removal is in question.  You could push the bezels out from inside the trunk. The light can be replaced w/o any removal of the side marker parts.
