I don't plan on removing it. Don't want to give it any reason to leak — not that it should, but don't want to chance it.
No, was looking for a picture of it installed, kinda on top showing roof/seal/truck. Like this:

As an update, I went out and installed one on my truck today. Since I don’t have an original, in original condition, I was never sure but after installing mine, I think it’s evident there’s a lip on the outer edge that my gaskets don’t have. It did look like it would still seal though. But obviously I can’t guarantee that. I’ll bet it’s still better than some. So the offers still there if anyone wants to try one. Again, not looking to sell them.
First picture below shows lip on outer edge of an original, while second picture is my gasket with lens.

I sure with you would've made these before I bought a new 3rd brake light and chunked the old one.

I sent LTC_ some material and Vanishing Point a couple of gaskets. I put some tissue in behind fixture, installed one of my gaskets and took it through a carwash. When I removed when I got home, tissue was completely dry, no evidence of water got through. I’m done making these, PIA. I would also recommend buying rubber washers below if originals are gone.

If anyone has one of these machines(under $200.00), or know someone with one, this might be an option.

That lady got mental issues if she's that excited about cutting some gaskets. :D

My niece is a wizard with those Cricut machines. My gasket doesn't leak and looks good so I'll probably not take it off but I'll grab one next junkyard visit and ask her about doing one. It may take awhile, but I will get back on and post results.

Just for one final update, gaskets I made are 100% leak free. Had 1 on last 10 days through 2 car washes and last weeks Tsunami rain storm. Popped it off today and dry as a bone. You can see by pictures of new vs old gasket the pressure looks lines on gasket the same. EDPM soft foam works!
