A little over 10,000 miles and just got rear passenger tail light condensation. What is the new TSB # and/or can someone provide the latest .pdf?

Now I'm in the club. I scanned the thread a couple weeks ago but can't remember, is this due to a problem with the housing itself, or is it just a bad gasket placement/design/thickness?

Spray your back window and watch the water flow There is a natural channel for water to continually assault the gasket. I used snowman snot ( dollar store gooey gum for post it notes on fridge ) built a dam and water channel (placement is obvious) dribble water and modify the snot so the water flows away from the top of the gasket. Instantly removable always pliable - re-usable. So far so good for me - waiting for more severe temp and humidity changes for the long term test - will try to post pics soon. :happy0180: |

You shouldn't have to fork out another $400-500 just because you got a defective part from factory...
If you don't deal with their problems they will assume it's all fixed now and do nothing for the future.

Yea I've had mine replaced before, and I'm going to have to go back in to have the left side replaced again. This set is 10x worse than the first.
