A PO had installed large Grote 4533 clearance lights front and back on the Murray. I suspect several are leaking front and back.

It appears there are nuts on the mounting screws above the headliner. The headliner is riveted in place front and back. Anyone have any idea how I could seal them front the outside?

Just wondering.

I thought there was a tutorial on the photo site, but I can't find it. Basically use a stiff brush to remove the outer edge of the gasket and clean the area, tape around it to keep the sealant from getting on everything, and fill the space between the light fixture and the roof with polyurethane caulk.
