ProLink headlight cover removal

[Rockosmith]

New '82 ProLink owner, curious how to remove the headlight lens to access bulb without cracking lens cover.

It's how you probably think - just pry it out, preferably with a nylon or wooden instrument.

Thanks Dave. I have nylon trim removal tools that should work.

Rocko -- Depending upon your local weather, you might apply a little heat to the rubber molding with a hair dryer to make things a bit more pliable. Key word -- little.

I thought about that. Probably leave out in the sun for a couple hours to make things more pliable.

That's rotten!! "Leave it out in the sun!" We got 12 inches of new white on the ground today and still coming down. Take a lap for me.

(P.S. That sun thing should do the trick. Just keep digging around it. It will pop out. Almost more trouble to get back in. Do be a bit careful, though; because, it is glass. Be certain to clean the inside of the lens and the reflector while you have it apart. It's amazing how much film builds up on 'sealed' surfaces. Light rubbing with Windex on the reflector.)

I have been told the headlight lens does not do well in the gravity test so drop it gently. I'm just thinkin

[Rockosmith]

I will be happy to take a lap for you tomorrow. Should be 65 and sunny! Gotta love the south. I am glad to hear the results of the lens gravity test, no need to re-test.

Rocko, one other tip when installing the lens (if you haven't already), put a light film of ArmorAll or silicon grease on the rubber before installing. Spray your finger or a q-tip to apply. Don't spray directly. It will get on the reflector. And, thanks for the lap.
