Grid tail lights are separating

I've got the grid tail lights on my 87 bird and the grid is starting to separate from the plastic. Is there any way to open the lights and re secure the griding to the plastic? Thanks

You can open the taillights up, ive never done it so i dunno the exact procedure. You cant reattach the grids IIRC. Redraif (im pretty sure it was her) took the lights apart and scraped the grids off and that looked pretty cool. Ill look for a link to a pic.

Heres The page.. it was redraif who did it. If you want new grid lights youd have to get new tails though.

Once they seperate that's the end of them.

You have to find a new set.
