I was trying to torque them down to spec after replacing the gasket yet again but they kept on spinning and so my tail light is essentially being held on by 2 good screws/nuts and quickly filling up with Portland rain.

Is there a possible fix before I decide to drill a little hole on the bottom to drain?

What's the likelihood of the 2 good nuts giving up and dropping my tail light incase there's no fix?

Thanks in advance!

........ a torque wrench cannot replace a sense of ..... "tight nuff".

Bubba says to take it off, apply a heavy coat of bees wax to the places where it is supposed to seal and slap it back on (leave the torque wrench in your tool box ......).
