  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

2012 sedan. There is some water and condensation in my passenger side outer tail light. Pictures attached.

Is this a common problem with this vehicle?

Is there a common spot of the seal that goes bad?

I had same problem in another vehicle of mine that I fixed. In my other vehicle I took the tail light out of the vehicle. I could not locate the exact spot where the seal went bad. I used a blowdryer and dried out the condenstaion from inside the tail light. I then put a bead of weatherproof silicone along the whole seal around the whole tail light. This fixed the problem. Its been a year since and no water or condensation in the tail light.

Is this a fix I can use on my genesis tail light?
