People have mentioned what "seems" to be condensation, I have noted it as well, but then I look they next day and it's clear as a bell in there with no traces or evaporation marks. I've had my car for over 4 months..

I think a few people noted hairline cracks on the corners which is letting in the moisture.

does anyone know what company manufactures the housings for mazda? I have always noticed that many of the after market tail assemblies leak almost badly enough to have fish swimming in i.e. altezza. I also assume that mazda will replace them on warranty. its just proving it like voodoo said thats hard. BTW should i pick yellow or silver?

although now that i think of it fish and rice do go together nicely. maybe thats whats next on the rice scene.

I noticed vapor a few times on extremely wet days. But they do clear up overnight.

I had both rear lights replaced under warranty. Craze lines were forming, and moisture was getting in. I did a search under taillights and got plenty of info including pictures.. The dealer stated they knew of the problem and replaced them the same day.. no problems w/ the new ones.

I have had my car since October 20th and haven't seen it yet. In my area we have a lot of rain and snow so I should have seen it if it was delivered that way.

I have the same thing. The chance of finding the crack is 0-None..But, it isn't a major issue..it drys right up with time.
