taillight help

[Dreamcar]

I've bought a nice set of taillights for my 69 and, separately, a set of the chrome surrounds. What keeps the chrome pieces from falling off? The pegs from the chrome pieces go into the holes on the bezels ok, but how is is secured?

Yes the pegs on the trim press into the holes of the taillights.
When I put mine on, I also used clear silicone around the inside of the bezel, just for extra security.

Thanks for bringing this up.  I got home the other day and noticed my left trim piece was about to fall off.  I may just take them off altogether...

When I installed new chrome bezels on my 69 lens I used a dollop of silicon at each corner and one in the middle top and bottom. I used blue painters tape over these points to hold the bezels in place overnight before install. I check mine periodically too.

Great advice. Thanks guys!

Originally the pins on the bezels were peened over holding them on to the lens. Over time the tabs break on the lenses.
Most common fix to reattach the bezels is as others stated, clear silicone. Or, epoxy glue will work also. A set of ratcheting wood clamps will also work to hold them together as the silicone cures, mine have rubber feet so they don't mar the surface.
