    Tail light gasket replacement

    Well, I noticed that I got some slight water leakage after some heavy rain here in FL. The culprit seems to be the tail light gaskets. I was looking at realoem, but there appears to be two different gaskets. I was wondering which is the correct one to seal off rain.

    Where is the rain pooling? It's possible the leak is at the antenna grommet and/or 3rd brake light gasket. I've very rarely seen the tail light ones fail.

    It's definitely the passenger side tail light. You can pull the bulb assembly out and see water. Antenna and 3rd brake light are ok. It pools up in the little compartment on the passenger side. Where the slip in storage thing is.

    I might just take it apart, clean the dirt out, silicone the gasket back to the light, and gummi-pledge (spelling?) every seal. Or, i might find a damaged seal.
