I decided to take a look and see if I had a crack on the taillight assembly that is described in the TSB.

I saw no cracks, but I did notice the following...

- The foam piece in the back of my taillight is only glued on the top. Not sure if that is normal or not, but I was able to drain the water in the back of my taillight assembly by lifting the bottom up like a flap (pic below).
- There are circle shaped tears around all four of the bolts (pic below). Again, not sure if that is normal or not, but I didn't see this in the PDF of the TSB.
- I was able to drain a lot of the water that was stuck in my taillight by just tilting the taillight in different directions. The two places that I noticed the water coming out of was from the turn signal and from two of the four circle tears (pic below).

Water in taillights for over a week.

Notice the rips where you screw in the nut. Looks like imprint of the nut b/c it was screwed on too tight.
