So today I noticed some pretty heavy condensation where the center brake light is. I know I know:



but the thing is I am sure you all know what condensation looks like and my camera is in the repair shop (sand + digital camera + moron=broken camera) It is almost all right where the light is. Anything I can do to easily fix it? I have a sub (1000+ watts RMS) and my only idea is that maybe the sub rattled something loose that allowed air in there. I looked around and sure enough there was a little piece of black plastic that surrounds the light that came loose. I pushed it back into place, but I know it will just come back out again the next time I drive. Should I just use some 5 min epoxy or something like that? What do I need to do to get rid of the condensation before fixing the loose plastic?


Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

if you're talking about the 3rd brake light, it's not sealed to the window. probably a 1-2 mm gap. if you wanted to clean that part of the light, you have to remove the rear seats, rear shelf, and then go into the trunk. you should find 4 nuts holding the brake light in place. but as for condensation, i've never gotten that before.

It's held on with 2 nuts.

I'm confused though why there's condensation in it. It's not an outside exposed part. Unless you left your trunk open. Or you have a water leak around your rear window.

That's happened before... Siggy had issues with leaks, and I've had water running down th inside of my rear window before. Only seen it once on my car, so I never worried about it...

People don't believe me when I say I'd rather have a car without a sunroof...

i had problem like that once in my old 2.3. So what i did was i pulled it out, drilled a hole into the bottom and problem solved.

i completely removed my third brake light (spoiler) and the fact that my subs rattled the out of it and that annoyed the out of me
