Tail lights / rear lamps seals
I bought new seals to the rear light lenses. But I don't remember removing seals between the body and the tail light assembly. Do they screw directly to the body without any rubber / seal?

Re: Tail lights / rear lamps seals
There are seals between body and the assembly, thats true. In fact they are important. It took me quite a while to find out that my old seals have been leeking and the water came in there. I was alway assuming it was from the lid.

Re: Tail lights / rear lamps seals
But I can´t find the part number for them. The service manual doesn´t show them either..... Are they the same as the ones sold for the taillight itself?

There is only one seal, it seals the taillight to the body and the lens to the taillight.

Re: Tail lights / rear lamps seals
So... that means Each tail light needs a pair of these?

No, the seal encloses the housing, which is mounted on the body, it seals the housing to the body and the glass to the housing. Only one seal is needed for each side.
Maybe you received the wrong seal.
The correct seal has a slot on the inside.

Re: Tail lights / rear lamps seals
yep, misunderstanding. One seal between body and the casing. None between casing and cover.

No. I received the right seal. Just don´t know where I left them...
But now I remember. It´s exactly like you describe

Re: Tail lights / rear lamps seals
Bei der ersten Montage ist es sinnvoll, zuerst die Dichtung um die Graundplatte zulegen. Dann das Rücklichtglas dranzuschrauben und zuletzt das gesamte Rücklicht in die Karosserie ein zu schrauben. Dann legt sich die Dichtung korrekt an.
When installing for the first time, it makes sense to first put the seal around the base plate. Then screw on the taillight lens and finally screw the entire taillight into the body. Then the seal will fit correctly.

Each screw got a seal too. Between taillight and assembly. The same to the Front
