My parker/indicator thingo decided to leak and mist up a bit , it's not cracked or broken , is there any way to separate the two halves of this unit in order to reseal it ?

you should make another new thread about it. just in case.

moisture gets inside the lamp usually because of a sealing problem. Some lamps have a breather which allows exchange of air esp headlamps. Not sure if this lamp has a breather. Hot melt glue track may be leaking and not sure if another sealant will work. Most people just ignore it- the lamp normally dries out when the sun shines. I would not worry about a little condensation. Removing a lense may make it worse.

Hi.
To stop leaks use clear silastic (neutral cure) and wipe it in the join at lense body. Wipe sealant in the hole where the screw fits. If you do it right it will be undectectable. Dont separate the lense. If moisture is inside leave the whole unit in the sun to dry out first.

Thanks for the replies most helpfull , I've dried it out with a hair drier and tape sealed it for the time being and I'll give the Sealastic a go as soon as I can grab some.
