Hey guys, I know there is a lot of info about trunk leaks on here. So I replaced my tail gaskets and ran a hose over it, everything appeared to be fine, there is still water in one tail light that I couldn't drain out. What can I do about that? Also, I still have condensation on the top of my trunk, bottom of the lid. Is this normal?

Leave it out in the sun and let it evaporate. Easiest cheapest method.

There is no sun over here in seattle... as of now. So if I leave the water in the taillight is that going to keep feeding the moisture into the trunk? So condensation is not normal?Comment

Ehh it will feed some moisture but shouldnt be much depending on how badly its filled up. you can get some heat which works also. Or if you really want to empty it pull the whole light out dump out the water and give it some blow drying should dry it. Just dont blow dry too long you might melt the plastic housing.

stick your ride in the garage and leave your trunk open as well as the garage and just let the wind take care of your wetness (LOL)..it worked for mine when it was cloudy with at least a 5 mph wind blowing. But this only worked until the next rainy day so im guessing it'll help.

Hey another Seattleite?!?! Awesome, yea I had the same problem when I bought mine. I just ended up replacing both taillights cuz it was really bad. A cheaper, easier fix than that if you've already done the gaskets, and yes you'll want to get that water out cuz it can damage the bulbs and stuff, drill a few small holes in the bottom of the taillights so it can drain, pretty simple takes about ten minutes. There you go! Hey were you live?

Well yeah, I took out the taillight and shook out as much water as I could. There is just a very small puddling and then some water drops inside the housing. I thought this would just dry out, since it used to have wayyyyy more water in it. I figured replacing the gaskets would seal out the trunk. But then I still had some condensation on the top. argh. So I was just wondering if others get the condensation. I don't want my trunk to still be wet...
Drilling a small hole seems like it would just let more moisture go back in?
The small amount of water in the tail isn't bothering me, it's the water still in the trunk.
