    Default Leaking tail light???

    I have a 86.5 MA70. The taillights seem to hold a fair bit of water after rain or washing car. Has anyone had any experience taking these apart and re-sealing them.

    Even if you wanted to do it on the dodge, if you were neat enough, you could use gasget goo, and maybe put a drain plug in it near the bottom, so the water doesnt store in the light...

    I did it on my rolla, i mean with gasget goo, the drain plug was already there...

    Cheers,
