I had some condensation in my tails and the dealer replaced them. No questions asked. I just think its kinda crazy to have to fix something yourself that should be fixed by the manufacturer. Hell you didn't screw up the tails!

I agree that it's crazy to have to fix it yourself, but I'd rather spend a few bucks and an hour of effort ONCE for a fix that actually works rather than having to make multiple trips to the dealer, wait for the car/leave it there, etc. just to receive the same shitty gaskets again.

You would think that when they make something that allows the whole trunk to fill with water they would fix it..... My entire trunk is soaked bc the water goes under the vanity guard... And through the holes in the frame .. Water is getting in the tails through the big red brake light hole....to me this seems like a manufacturer screw up. |

Just installed a new set of gaskets (which I got from wdninja) on my Colin tails. The gaskets fit nicely and look like better material...and I think the weatherstrip adhesive should do the trick.
Now I'm definitely less worried about ruining my new tail lights with condensation. I'll report back if I do end up with any condensation issues. |

Thanks so much for putting this up as a DIY. I'm reserved to not go back to the dealership for this again, and I was going to start digging into a solution I could do on my own. I just ordered my foam and will be following your DIY when it comes in!
