Spyder v2 tail lights

Some of you may know that the V2 tails from Spyder have had a few glitches in some of the "first batch" of tails. My first set had crappy fitment on the drivers side and water issues on the passenger side. I received my warranty replacement set of v2 spyders yesterday. My replacement set already has water in it from today's rain shower in the passenger side lamp. drivers side fit fine though.

Has anyone else identified the issue? I don't want to keep exchanging leaky tails because it's a hassle to swap etc.. And I have to hold on to my oems until it's resolved. Any suggestions? Gaskets look way better than stock and water issue has only been on the passenger lamp on both.

How many replacements have you had already? V2s?

Use the search function - the fix has been posted on this site for quite some time. It involves gasket sealer on the gaskets and a snowman snot dam.

These tail lights came out like 2 weeks ago. I don't think my gaskets are the problem. I've checked them thoroughly on both sets.
