    Hi everyone.
    Every time after a rain, my rear light has water inside, and not just a few drops...I changed the rubber, thought it will resolve it, but unsuccesfully. I don't really saw a scratch on the light.

    Someboy told me it needs to be changed. Any kind of ideas before I change it?

    My daughter had the same problem. Took the light off and re-positioned the seal which had folded over and problem solved.

    You mean the rubber around? I did that, and I glued it with silicone, but didnt worked. After a rain, I had the same problem again.

    If I'll drill a hole in the bottom, it will not be steamed? It's a kindof freaky solution

    I solved it. Made a few holes and there's no more water. 10x a lot
