1937 Junior tail light lens installation

EDIT: I got it! Figured out the right orientation of the gasket and the “method” to work a small screwdriver around while installing. Went on well and makes a good seal with the lens being snug but not overly tight.

This may seem very basic, but I could use some help with the installation of my tail light lenses.

As expected, without the gasket, the lens is very loose in the bezel if installed.

I need some help with how that gasket should be installed. Every way that I have tried results in the bezel and lens being too tight to install on the bucket.

I believe I have the correct gasket. This is what I bought…Tail light gasket

What am I missing? Seems simple…lens in bezel, gasket in, top of bezel hooks on tab at top of bucket, screw in the bottom. I’m missing something.

A poor seal or missing gasket will allow dust to build up in the unit, casing dimmer light, and if water gets on a hot bulb, it will usually cause it to crack and burn out. Dust and moisture will also cause problems with the socket and electrical contacts. Painting the inside of the tail light housing white would probably make the light brighter.
