you're welcome.

There is a ring of 1/4 inch thick foam that goes around the inside edge of the light housing, that applies tension, and holds the lense's locking tabs in place (it's hard to explain without pictures )

Anyway, on my car's light, this foam piece had deteriorated, and that was why the lense and the trim ring came loose, until the ring finally fell off.

To replace the foam ring, I just made a ring out of a piece of 3/8 x 1/2 adhesive foam weatherstripping from the doors and windows section at Lowes.
