I am not saying it
is a defect with the body of the car but it
is possible that it could be a defect with the body of the car. It could be an issue with body flex in the area of the rear lights which could cause pressure from the trunk or bumper to crack the tail lights. Obviously, something is causing a problem on this guys car and Toyota/Subaru does not seem to know how to fix it. Also, everyone knows that this is not an isolated case. Others have had tail lights replaced multiple times.
And if you think that this body does not flex (a lot) there is a video on here somewhere that I watched of a guy running the car through pylons or on a track. The Go-Pro was mounted right behind the drivers door and you could watch the seam around the door get bigger and smaller as the car changed directions. Watching that led to the moment when I said "Aha!" and understood why TRD made the door brace add ons. It is not too big of a stretch to think that similar forces may be damaging the tail light housings. Just sayin.
