Tail light problems

[Les Huckins <jhuckins@xxxx>]

I covered this a day or two ago but I've been reading all of the
archived material as quickly as time allows and several fixes have been
mentioned, self tapping screws, wedges, little screws and nuts, etc.
That aint it folks! It's not a problem of things getting loose due to
vibration, It's oxidization, air gets in there and pretty soon no actual
metal to metal contact. The other fixes would work for a long time, if
you drilled out the rivets, did a good cleanup job, and then put the
shims, screws, etc., back. Other than that, there are only two long
term fixes, either solder or replacement. Do it right, you'll be
happier.
