The Seals go around the rear light Clusters.
They are available from XPart Part dealers and Rimmers
Some people use Silicon sealant, but not tried that.

If you have any corrosion on contacts give them a good clean.

Check spare wheel well for water, if you have Sat Nav the units in their get wet and stop working.
