Water in tail light

[galloway904]

I have 2003 Disco and whenever it rains my driver side tail light fills with water and living in Fl it rains quite a bit. Any ideas I what I can do to fix this? With summer rain showers right around the corner I am not looking forward to taking the tail light off every other day to drain it.

Have you removed the lens assembly to find where it is leaking from, do that and you will probably find it.

I've just removed it to drain it and that is all. My next day off I'll remove it and give it a closer inspection. I am trying really hard to treat my car right, that being said, is there any kind of sealer you recommend once the leak is discovered?

Almost any water proof sealant (marine) will work. Or you could replace the tail lamp either used or new fairly cheap.

Don't try and seal it, unless there is a crack, If you seal the 2 sectons of the housing with any sealant, you won't be able to open it up and replace any warn out bulbs.i

Thanks Mike.... I forgot that... way too many vehicles in my driveway lately and forgot that.

Thanks for the help guys, I'm taking it apart today and we'll see what the deal is. Is there any place you guys recommend getting replacement parts from? I've scoured the internet and all the prices all seem roughly the same, I just didn't know if there is preferred site.

Call Nathan in my signature he probably has one laying around he would give you a good price on... otherwise, Will Tillery and roverguy.com is always a good place for used bits.
