9N3 rear light glass replacement

Post by Polo dad »

My son recently bought his first car and had a minor disagreement with a lamppost (in about his first three hours of ownership...)

Lights still all work fine but the nearside rear glass smashed and fell out completely - although the main circular glass is still in place. I can find the part but all the videos I've seen replace the whole unit. Is the glass itself glued in or clipped in, and do you have to take the unit out to put it back together first?

Thanks

Recently had my light cluster out to clean of some black residue caused by water ingress / condensation
The inner circular part of the lamp cluster seemed to be glued in place as I was unable to dismantle it to give it a good clean

I would take a trip to the local breakers if I were you see if you can pick up a secondhand one
