Unhappy condensation in the taillights

has anyone else had this happen?

it happened a couple months ago during the winter. i left it alone hoping the warmer months would help dry it out, but since it is a sealed system the liquid remains there.

i guess during the freezing and thawing of winter some piece expanded enough to allow a bit of moisture get in the tail light plastic housing.

now the whole area is totally fogged up and it doesnt change. i know this is going to fail my VA inspection in a couple months.

i dont really want to tear the trunk lining out to get the housing but i may need to huh?
its an 04. think the dealer would fix it free? they are like an hour away if theres no traffic so i dont wanna venture out there and have to pay a huge amount like i expect!

any opinions? any one else see this before?

Do a search. This has been talked about before. It happened to my 8. If it's under warranty, the dealer should fix it for you.

No problem I wasn't coming down on you. You would find more info than I could give off the top of my head that way though.
