You can just pry them off. They are push-fit.

I thought the same, if you use a flat screw driver they are easy to pry off. Very little force used. They are just

Take a look at the pic, just added, they came off easily.

Hi all.
Anyone else experiencing rusting rear indicators / break lights / reversing lights on their Bailey? Bit of a shocker.
Its a common issue. Your dealer will replace them under warranty.

Saw some very mild pitting on my rear light surrounds (796 2017), mentioned it at the last hab check even though it was not very bad and not on all of them),full set of new ones supplied with no quibble and allowed to keep old ones which with a light sanding and spray will come in handy as spares if needed at any time in the future, may even try Targetpaster 's idea and try them in white to see what they look like.

I'm a newbie
Sorry to resurrect an old thread.
Had this happen early this year - new ones are stainless steel (what grade?) so shouldn't corrode - swift email to Bailey and new ones sent.

Apart from the front skylight seal, this is the only time I've had any success with warranty claims against Bailey.
Overhead locker door above cooker has been removed as it won't stay shut on the road - too much flexing in the body, and redesigned with 2 side hinged doors on later models.
As to the farse that the waste water pipe modification turned into - I was told by Bailey "all have been modified and therefore we do not have any parts left", yer right, block of black painted wood and a few steel straps, asked for the technical note (or whatever they call them), still waiting 2 years later. Looked at a 2023 79-2 (and others), to find they now fit a more substantial bracket - which will no doubt do more damage as the screws are bigger.
