Tail light condensation lasting weeks sometimes months. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

As title states ive had a condensation issue with my right side tail light that has come and gone for over a year. Sometimes lasts a day other times months. They have been both replaced seal kits upgraded. Issue still remains and the local dealer and SOA claims it is designed that way and there is nothing they can/will do. I personally feal this in a joke and not the truth as I personally know 3 people with brz and 5 people with frs none that have had a issue at all with condensation ever....Let me hear your feedback.

I replaced my gaskets and used sealant to seal the gasket to the taillight. Haven't had any issues since.

Sloppy work by the stealership. Find another dealership and see if they will do the replacement.

They are giving you the run around.
Find another dealer.
And if you are brave, call their bluff(the first dealership) and have them put it in writing.

Soa is giving me a $500 parts and service voucher and telling me to piss off Is basicly what I got in the phone call. Im sick of the run around im just fixing it myself since they are either to greedy or incompetent to do so. The 1st work was done by a different dealer then im at now. Im sick of waisting my time running all over the metro to the different dealers. Voucher or no Subaru has lost a customer here With their lack of willing to admit there is a problem.
