Default moisture under tbl

Hey all, I just got my brand new full third brake light from oznium. First of all I have to say the experience was flawless, quick, and great service over all, so thanks oznium!

On to the issue, I installed it but noticed the next day that there was a bit of moisture build up where the top weatherguard piece is. For anyone else that has bought from oznium has this happened to you? It began drizzling/very lightly raining right as I put the light on the car but was careful to keep the tbl slot surrounding dry right up until i stuck it on. However i think it rained normally the next day so maybe i didnt push the light on to well? idk :? if anyone has any ideas or knows how to take care of this issue any help would be awesome, thanks!

Happens to me all the time. I suggest trying to put some clear silicone on to try and stop it.

so im not the only one, phew. yea, i guess resealing it would be the best solution. i was just curious as ive never noticed it on my stock tbl, but then i looked at the stock one and there's that solid gray border around the top lip and thats probably why i never noticed... the oznium one has no solid red lining identical to the stock one. but it sounds like it's a recurring issue? like even if i reseal it once i'll have to do it again?

I'm not sure. But whatever it is, be sure to try to resolve it. Moisture might be the cause of 6 LED's going out on mine
