Leaking gaskets around the tail lights can allow water entry into the tail light assembly. New gaskets should fix this concern.

    When it rains, my trunk gets wet. I couldn't figure it out. Finally, I discovered that the tail lights are leaking. Haven't fixed it yet.

    I noticed quite a bit of condensation in my right tail light. When I opened the trunk, water would pour out of the same side of the inner trunk. I did not think much of it, thinking it couldn't cause too many problems, but a while later, I opened my trunk and discovered massive amounts of mold forming. I'm thinking it is related to leaking gaskets, but I'm not sure as I am unfamiliar with this issue.
