I agree with Adam, the duct tape on the Porsche is fine...
it's the refrigerator in the front yard that's the problem.

Grizz, what did cause the water to enter the clear side-markers? Was that black rubber gromit thingy missing?

The clear lens had begun to separate from the back of the light. I jerry-rigged it with clear silicone, which according to Jeff, is also an explicit violation. It doesn't matter now, because a new set is en-route.

I think i probably did worse. I had a whistling noise coming from my side view mirror and figured out it was the air flowing through one of the little cracks in the construction. So I put a piece of clear packaging tape on it to test if I found the right spot. Sure enough the whistle stopped. That was 5 months ago, packaging tape is still on the car

What's next, a piece of coat hanger wire to hold up your exhaust system???
Your Porsche should hide in shame in a dark corner of your garage until it is repaired correctly!!! 
As a community we have standards!!!
Or just drive it only at night....
