Late last year my 2013 BRZ taillights were replaced under warranty. They leaked again, and were replaced yesterday; again under warranty.
The service tech explained that the boss where one of the mounting studs is located cracks. He showed me the pictures he sent to Subaru NA. The cracking is due to expansion/contraction of the unit during freezing months, I'm told. Here in Pittsburgh this year, we've seen our share of freezing temps.
The new replacement units have a redesigned foam gasket that allow the taillight housings to expand/contract without causing stress to the boss. Makes sense, just hope it works.
Washed and waxed the car yesterday too, no signs of condensation this morning.
