Leak help

I ordered some Inspires last week and before I install them I want to figure out why I was getting water in the tails in the first place. At times there is condensation in the left tail but then it ends up going away and my right tail is like a lake. When you look at it up close there is water in it no matter what even if I leave it in the sun. I think that there might be a crack or maybe even a tail light gasket is broken. I did a search and all of what I read doesn't affect my car. I'll post up pics tomorrow because I have to be at work in 15 min and I only have time tomorrow after school so pics will be up tomorrow afternoon.

i would get something to put that tail light with some water sealant.

my shit use to fog up so much i used a hair dryer but still fog up..so i drill a small hole where the water doesnt enter and let it air dry it self. it went away.

also wat i did was i grab a hose and see where the water goes. and i found out how the water got in. its when you open the trunk the covers for the tail-light on the side wasnt enough to hold that water so i add some foam stuff around it

The soft rubbery gasket on the outside of the tails gets dirt on it sometimes, which causes gaps and leaks. Wipe the gasket down with water all around until it looks clean.
