water in high level brake light
« on: April 15, 2009, 07:28:14 am »
hi folks, i noticed the other day that there was water in high level brake light. has anyone else had this and what was done about it?
i have been told that to get the light bar replaced you need to cut the spoiler off and may need a new tailgate!!!!

your input would be great

I have to say I would seriously consider drilling a small hole in the brake light and using a plug if this happened to me....
just a thought  :happy2:
