Water in grill
 
I have a crystal clear grill, but everytime it rains or wash the car quite a bit of water gets in. I cant see any cracks anywhere. Whats the best way to seal it up????

I would probably use a drill bit on the correct spot, somewhere on the bottom, to just let it just drain out. Don't really have any good ideas...
maybe find a replacement or just drive faster so no one will see it?

I had this situation on my grille when I first got the car - it seems to be a very common problem. I ended up replacing it with a new one (expensive!).
I think there's a venting system already built in to it to take care of condensation, the key to fixing it is to stop the major leaks. What I was going to do (before I replaced it :D ) was take it out and seal the seam all around it with silicone (after making sure it had dried out real good in the sun over a few rain-free days). It would be worth a try and what I'll do if my current one does it.

Fully agree with Svxxx26, this worked great for my taillights and center bar.
