Is it possible to just replace the taillight cover?
Hello, and thank you for your letter. The “lenses” or plastic coverings for the taillights are not offered for sale individually. If you wish to do that repair, you will have to buy the full taillight assembly. Now, keep in mind that you might be able to locate one used for a lot less money. In light of this, you should make sure any used parts are either inspected or are of “known good” quality. Junk yards, pull-and-pay shops (where you find and take the part on your own), and even online are common venues to find used units. Make an appointment at your home or place of business with our service department if you require help changing the taillight.
How can I fix a broken tail light cover?
Craft glue might work if your tail light cover simply has a crack in it. However, if the damage is more significant, you should use some lens repair tape to cover the exposed region. This is available at most auto parts retailers, including this dealership.
