Question:
I removed the two lights and rubber grommets off of my utility trailer to paint the trailer and I dont know how to put them back into the oval hole.

Expert Reply:
Without knowing exactly what light assemblies you have on your trailer it's a bit hard for me to say exactly how to reinstall them, but for the most part you will want to install the grommet first on the trailer and then slide the light into place after similar to the video I attached.
You will see in the video that our installer used a bit of grease on the inside of the grommet to help the light slide into place easier.
