I will say doubling up the gasket isn't a good idea. A single new (better) gasket (but properly sealed to the housing, unlike the factory gaskets) is a good idea, in combination with building a dam using some sticky tack, Sugru, or some other removable, flexible material to divert the flow of water.

I have this this entire thread as well as the one on the BRZ forum, quite a few people have suggested a thicker custom gasket or doubling up the OE one. I have already purchased a new set from Toyota that I will use on the new taillights when they're installed, right now I'm letting the other set air out.
The idea of building the dam doesn't appeal to me, as it traps the water on top of the trunk area, instead of letting it flow down and out as its intended to. I'm not suggesting the Toyota/Subaru design is ideal (far from it), but I'd much rather have condensation in my taillights than salt water sitting on the quarter panel of the car, especially since this car doesn't have any other drain holes. We'll see if my condensation comes back in a few days, it was just very weird that there was no hint of it until a year after the car arrived.
