The rear light assembly is vented. That is how the condensation got there in the first place. Those of us living in wet climates have it worse.

I had this take the lens out dry out perfectly infront of a heater overnight make sure bone dry inside and run a thin bead of silicon around where the lens joins the lamp body. Let dry, refit done. Monte carlo Blue, Ivory Leather, 22 Khan Reps, 3.0 td6 Vogue |

And when you remove the light you'll no doubt snap the pathetic plastic clip that secures it, and your dealer won;t sell you a new one on it's own!

Agreed - seems to be a common problem (?)... Will they not admit fault and rectify this? You should not have to take a hairdrier to them - or remove and reseal with silicon sealant...
