Small Hole in Headlight

Jan 23, 2008 11 Replies

Evening,



The wifes' car has a small hole in the headlight where a stone has hit it. It still passes the MOT with good pattern, but can get a it damp in the winter (especially this year !).



Does anyone know the best way to sort of repair it - without replacing it ?. Plastic film over the hole + glue ?. Don't want to disrupt the light pattern too much obviously.

Silicone sealant.

Hot melt glue.

What car is it? Some headlights are a tenner...

Go to B&Q and pick up a small tube of clear mastic and apply a 'blob' to the hole in the lens and smooth it over with a wet finger.

It may well be - if you can find one.

In that case the cost of the repair ( atube of silicone sealant) will exceed that value of the car. It's a write-off I'm afraid.

Since it' the wifes car I'll make sure she's in it when it gets crushed !

Thanks Guys
