Trunk Leak

It poured today in Chicago, and i noticed when i opened my trunk and noticed there was a wet spot. I've been getting condensation in my rear tail lights for a while now. The gaskets around the tail lights are dried out and old. My car a 1996 RL with 145,xxx. I noticed though that there was water around the tail light and that area when i pulled back the carpeting in the trunk. I was wondering if replacing the rear tail light gaskets or putting silicon sealer around would fix this. Thanks!

No, you need the gasket to be certain. Much better to do it right the first time.
