So I dried out the water droplets inside the lens and place a thin layer of superglue on the edge of the lens supposedly where it comes together on the base. This solved the water from getting in. You will know if you have this problem after the 2nd or 3rd vehicle wash or rainshower the droplets on the inside my form. At least it can be fixed and made better with a little TLC.

We had torrential rains yesterday. Everything is good so far. I did re-use the OEM gaskets though rather than the ones they provided as they felt a little lower in quality.
