Leaking taillight
I just got my car washed and I notice that the brake light on the passengerside is filled with water! now, these taillight assemblies are supposed to be sealed on the outside, right? which means if its leaking I should just buy a new one? any thoughts?

Oh boy. You're going to hate this but....
Take the taillight out of the car. Very carefully pry the old plastic lens off. Be very careful because if you break it, you're going to have to buy a new one. Once you have it off, use a good superglue and don't miss a spot. A gel glue would be best. Then very carefully put the lens back on the housing. Scrape all the old goop off the body and use new stuff to seal the tail lights to the car.
