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.

Alright, my recommendation given your preferences is to seal the new gaskets to the housings with some kind of weatherstrip adhesive to create a stronger barrier than the factory "tape strip." It didn't happen right away because the barrage of water erodes the crap factory "seal" over time.
