Depending on your area's weather or how you store your car makes you varyingly susceptible.
If you're buying a newer model year, or have an older one and haven't had any condensation yet, your best bet to prevent it is to put waterproof tape over the gap between the trunk channel and the housing so the water flows over/past it instead of down into the gap and directly onto the gasket.

Thanks for the advice, I bought your gaskets worked for while guess it is just too wet in the PNW.Had the car back at the dealer a few weeks ago, they wouldn't replace the tails until they try one more torquing sequence? Guess they are in contact with SOA on this?
