Water in reverse lights

[zc06_kisstherain]

Sorry for bringing this from dead but i also noticed few drops of water inside of reverse light as well. anyone else does have this problem? replacement is fine?

If dealer replaces with "REVISED" part, then I wouldn't worry about this problem in the future.
If they replace with exact same part, I would take the new part apart and put some extra gasket.

When i wash my car again, i will take few pictures then send Dealer pictures before i drive them. So I don't waste my time and gas that they have to order part if they dont have it in stock

Are you 'double-dipped' sure that it is inside of reverse light or simply a reflection from a droplet sitting inbetween the black 'diffuser' housing and the clear reverse light area? This is suggested above, and I too thought that there may be water in the reverse light until closer inspection.

That is tail light. We are talking about reverse light housing

I too have water droplets inside the reverse light housing. It happens from time to time when washing.

i am glad i am not the only one.
I think few water is entering top part of housing.
I wouldnt visit dealer for this since it's like an hour away and probably this problem reappears.

I will probably put some weather strip / seal on top part of housing later when my time is free.

I haven't noticed any taillight condensation yet. For what it is worth, and if anyone is keeping track, my car is #2955.

Mine gets condensation in the tails when I wash it, I noticed the plastic around the reverse lights is not sealed at all but I haven't noticed water inside yet.

Mine were replaced under the service bullentin after I reported them last month..


annnnnd now we're still getting condensation I'm considering removing and sealing them myself. A little silicone never hurt anything.
