what are these gaskets i hear of?
 

I have the same problem most people have with the condensation getting into the tailights. I was wondering how i could go about stopping this from happening. I have heard of people resealing the gaksets but i dont know what these gaskets are and where they are. I also found something pretty strange....i felt my trunk carpet and it was damp and wet...any of you have the same problem? It could also be because of the humid muggy weather were getting in new york. Who knows :rolleyes:

you can buy the gaskets for the tailights. If you remove the plastic cover on the inside of the trunk you will see a number of 10mm nuts that if you loosen the tailights will pop off.

Water in the trunk could be the trunk seal or maybe the sunroof drain line disconnected or your rear wiper sprayer hose came off and is filling the trunk instead. I guess it could be the tailight gaskets too but I don't think much water would get all the way into the trunk from them leaking.

Yeah its not alot of water lke a flood or anything. Its more like this damp feeling on the carpet,

Idea on the price for the Tailight Gaskets? I get condinsation in
my tailights, quite annoying.

$4.50 ea at 1stsubaruparts.com

Any idea how much from the dealer?
Yea yea yea... i know... it will be more...
but less wait time ;)

I imagine you'd wait the same amount of time - I doubt the svx tailight gasket is on the shelf at any dealer.

In any event - expect to add about 25% to the price at the dealer.

Figures... got a part number for 1stsubaruparts?

Its in their oem parts catalog under collision, Rear lamps >Tail lamps > Lens and housing > Seal

Doesnt show a part number

I take it, same seal for left/right side?

mirror image - same seal :)

i think the nuts might be 8 mm...not sure though.
