How to glue the third brake light?
I backed up into a ventilation in a underground parking, the parking sensors were not giving any obstacle but the ventilation above in the corner touched the third lamp and detached it. Luckily it's not broken and it is functional.
I was afraid that it will fall off so I bought some epoxy paste which i made some 5-6 balls out of it and I repressed the light on top of some black silicon which was attached by.
Now, the light is not waterproof and the GPS antenna is there, I imagine all the moisture and weather will damage the antenna?
Best thing to do is to remove the black silicon/epoxy and redo it again by creating a seal, my question is which product to use to glue it back, anybody knows what LR used in the first place?
Whoever designed the installation of the third brake light...

Tiger seal by Upol! or any body panel/windscreen adhesive, remember adhesive is unlikely to seal on adhesive, clean all old adhesive off. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

if the car-park had a height restriction sign and you were under that but still damaged your car ... send them the bill.
SWMBO's car i swell below restriction at the Lowry Centre in Salford Quays. However, there is a section where (luckily) realised I had to remove the aerial to reverse out.

The car park has 2m height restriction for which the D4 goes through, but problem was a aluminium ventilation installation at one part of the park, rather dark, for which I was reversing to position the car as much as I can in between cars, so as I relied on the parking sensors I reversed into the ventilation.
From than on I only park front first at all underground parking!
I went ahead and ordered Tiger Seal on ebay this afternoon before the other suggestion for SikaTack arrived. I hope there isn't much difference in them. I went ahead and ordered a complete new unit as I saw this morning there is a small crack and chipping on the current one. I ordered a new non return valve for the washer as it was blocked for good part of this year and the valve was the problem.
Now I hope I don't damage the GPS antenna from moisture while I wait on the new pieces...
