Tony replied to Laurie Brewer's discussion 4/2 tail lights"seems like if there was a fire near your smart, you'd have known about it. And it would have done damage to not just the plastic light lenses, but to the rear gate panel and bumper valance. I say write to Smart, send them some hi res photos."
Tony replied to Laurie Brewer's discussion 4/2 tail lights"no they never showed 'burn' marks, just slightly distorted the lens plastic."

our tail lights on our 2006 4/2 melted in and at first Mercedes declined to fix them at their cost. So i complained a whole lot and they have reversed their decision and now will be replacing them at their cost. So if they say no, just keep trying. Everyone should check their tail lights, both our top lenses have melted in and could cause a problem from the heat of the bulbs. So thanks Mercedes
Laurie Brewer replied to Laurie Brewer's discussion 4/2 tail lights"if anyone has this problem please inform Smart Car or Mercedes thank you"
Laurie Brewer replied to Laurie Brewer's discussion 4/2 tail lights"We were just informed by Mercedes that our service agent decided that our lights are melted from the outside...how does a light melt when the car is covered and has no other marks from a fire (which she said we had parked near) if a person parked…"

Laurie Brewer replied to Laurie Brewer's discussion 4/2 tail lights"thanks did your lights show burn marks?"
Tony replied to Laurie Brewer's discussion 4/2 tail lights"Do you spend a lot of time in stop and go traffic? I have seen something similar on my Ford Focus, the heat from the brake lights being on caused the lens to melt a little. Just a thought."
Laurie Brewer replied to Linda's discussion Mountain Driving in the Smart?"we live in BC Canada and have tons of mountains, hills etc. our 2006 fortwo goes up them great. Good luck and safe driving"
SATO replied to Laurie Brewer's discussion 4/2 tail lights"the only thing I can think of is the exhaust heat is seeping up the sides and coming out around that lens. that could cause the distortion and not affect much else as each plastic has a different melting point temperature."
Laurie Brewer replied to Francois McCord's discussion what is the longest trip you have taking with your smart"we went from home (McLeese Lake BC- in the cariboo) to Kamloops BC (300 Miles) then to Whitecourt Alberta and back. Total mileage was 2100 kilometers and cost $97. Then went to Bella Coola BC and back home-mileage 1000kms cost $48 we get around 55…"

our 2006 smart 4/2 has a problem with the tail lights- they are melted inwards, not from the sun or any type of heat being applied. Has anyone else haad this problem, our service rep. took off the lens and stated that the lens was not damaged on the inside.
