Hi All,


Does anyone know where can I get a replacement for the retaining screw cover?

Snapped them?  Don't be surprised if you can not.  The FD SERIES  ones break easily.  And you have to buy a complete taillight.

For PD
Ask a dealer or find a damaged PD series unit in a wrecking yard  and hopefully get them cheap that way.

Yea snapped one of them off.

My god, didn't know they don't sell that standalone.

Hopefully the FD ones will fit the PD, gonna check out the wreckers then.

I had an idea.  :idea:

Carefully fill it with matching dark silicone and smooth it off with a  "Stanley knife" blade. (if you can't easily get a replacement)
Would be easy enough to scoop the silicone out in the unlikely event you need to remove them again.  :cool:

No, I never suggested they'd fit. I'm using my car as an example that they are not available. By all means check or find a PD i30 if you can with a damaged rear assembly but intact covers.

Ahh my bad. Misread then.

Unfortunately, the i30 is still pretty much a new model (early 2018) here in SG thus finding spares might be tough.

Was hoping to find a more permanent solution
