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

You're in double violation. But honestly I hear squirrelpiss will loosen nuts and bolts.
