Side repeater removal

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

Side repeater removal

Post by dragonflyjewels » Fri Apr 21, 2017 1:57 pm

OK, I have the side repeaters off the car, but can't see how to remove the amber lens without risking breakage. The new clear ones don't have any retaining edges so no clues there - are they just glued in ? What's the best way to release them ?

Did this myself!

Stanley knife blade down the back of the diagonal part will release it - they are just glued in. Then just super glue in using the same area for the glue, and a little around the base.
