Condensation in taillights
I just bought my used rx8, and noticed that both taillights get water in them, so far it s just been a small amount. Its in the shop today with 68k miles on it and they said they only replace them for free if its under 50k miles. I have a brake light out that i think may have been caused by this condensation. :(

They will be cheaper than the dealer. |
Why replace them? All I did was take them out get all the water out and then run a fan through them for an hour and they were all dry. I noticed there was a white residue still in them so I ran through some white vinegar in them and that took it all out. I then had to dry it again (I should have noticed it before I dried it the first time)
Here is the DIY for it https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-do-yourself-forum-73/diy-remove-replace-rear-combination-light-tail-light-114910/ But this is what I replaced and I have yet to get ANY water in them since I replaced the Gaskets http://www.finishlineperformance.com...cat=302&page=1 |
hitmann, how long have you had yours water free? I had my right light replaced in Decmeber and now my left one is getting water in it. I called the dealership and they said my warranty just ran out... I might do what you did with the gasket...

You guys DO realize that Mazda redesigned the tail light gasket to prevent this from happening, don't you? Here's the TSB: http://www.finishlineperformance.com...14-07-1795.pdf

tail lights
We just dealt with the driver's side tail light and it's moisture w/pooling. Now have to do the passengers side. They didn't happen at the same time. Took out the tail light, dried with a hair drier what we couldn't get with a paper towel and resealed. The driver's side is lookin' good. Now for the other side.
I am a second owner and don't qualify for warranty on my '04. If there is a will, there is a way! Hope this helps for the rest of you. Donna |
Drill a tiny hole at the bottom of the tail light...lol

Well, you should call them and find out. And if they will not cover it, then you should find out how much a new taillight would cost. Or I believe there are better seals out there if you're a do-it-yourselfer type of guy.

How about if it was replaced under warranty and now its out of warranty, are they responsible to fix it again?
|
I had the same problem on the driver's side. The dealer balked a little at replacing it as my 2004 was out of warranty, but they replaced it without a fight. There should never be water in the taillight, warranty or not. Insist that they replace it as the taillight assembly is a $200 item!
