Water in tail light..
So after considerable rain recently, i noticed some condensation on the right rear tail light. When I took it off, a decent amount of water poured out. It seems the rubber backing shrunk and doesn't encompass the top portion of the light assembly. Has this happened to anybody else? Maybe the screws weren't fully tightened and that's how the water entered?

#2 seal gets old and no longer provide the tight seal needed. I had the same problem with the seal on my 540i.
