130 coupe


Hello, i have a 72 130 Coupe, the rear light lenses are very faded, can you tell me
how to remove the lenses so i can clean them, i do not want to break them and i
cannot see how to remove them from inside the boot.

Thanks

Peter

Re: 130 coupe

Try using T cut on the outside plastic lens before you take the lights out, maybe that all it needs my coupe was just the same and that did the job

Hi Peter,

Peter that will remove the full light unit then once out you will see some nuts at the back remove them and the crome can be removed to get to the lenses

Thanks Julian,
I will do this over the weekend, some say put the light cluster in the
dishwasher !! does this work !!!

Re: 130 coupe

I can see that could work with a all plastic modern light cluster but I wouldn't risk it with a 40 year old one, if it gets ruined they don't come cheep thats if you can even find one.
