    tail light lens popping out

    So I had my Z at the body shop and I noticed when I got it back the top red lenses have a gap on top of them. Did these just warp out since it's a 30 yr old car or has this body shop done this? Anyone know is it just as easy to maybe get it back in flush? It's between the black part and the red lens.

    Mine are like that too, were that way when I got the car. So far water doesn't seem to get inside them, but I'd like to know if there is anything that can be done about it.

    1986 300ZX N/A 5Speed project. Needs work, but that's the point, isn't it?

    Most are like that. Unless it leaks I wouldn't worry. If it leaks, use Butyl Tape or 3M window-weld.
