Yes. Yesterday, I added a bead of silicone in this small channel. After looking really close, it looked like maybe there was a gap in this channel compared to the right side. So now I've got a new gasket in brake light, silicone around shark fin, flowable silicone in the channel right above the...

We had gentle rain this afternoon and sure enough, still a leak, even after using the Permatex. I went ahead and added some more but not sure it’s going to work. It’s not coming from the brake light. I replaced the gasket and when I took off the light again today, there’s no evidence of water...

I actually bought some yesterday and put it in the channel. Haven’t been able to test yet, I want to give it the 24 hours to cure. I’ll report back.

I just replaced the seal with the auto weather stripping from Lowe's and I still have the same leak. Ran the garden hose over it to simulate rain. Prior to replacing the seal, I ran a bead of silicone right above the window. Not sure what else to do at this point but take it somewhere. I'm...

It may be in a post further back, but did you just replace the seal with one from a Lowes/Home Depot?

Do you have to glue the new gasket on the light or does it have sticky adhesive?

Yes, I got one yesterday. I haven't had that issue, didn't even know about it. I went ahead and put in my glove box, hopefully I don't need it.

Did you get a chance to check if yours is sealed now?

Where did you get the reflective emblems? Thanks!

How did you get it in that channel? I have some stuff but the "straw" attachment is still too wide to fit in the gap.

I'm past factory and have an extended warranty but its a pain to deal with. I was just thinking if I could do something myself, might be easier. I do have the crack and have a little water seep in when it rains (rare in West TX) but almost always during a car wash. I have some foam that is...

Sealing everything may sound easy but does anyone have any tips for doing this? I'd rather just do this myself than mess with the dealer.

@RamCares This seems to be a common response from the dealer. I had the grinding very consistently since I bought the truck with 29K miles. The dealer could never get me in so I waited and waited. By that time, I needed new tires so I got them and the noise went away. I know this is temporary...

Got it fixed, $75 total. I can't believe how loud my truck was with that leak. So much better now.

I bought the Carlinkit and ended up returning it. It didn't have any issues and worked fine but after a week, I felt guilty for spending that much money when I can simply plug it in. For me, the idea was more attractive than it ended up being.

The flange doesn't look great. Its got some rust on it as well. He said it would be quicker and easier to add a pipe in between rather than trying to get the rusted bolt out of the rusted threads in the flange.

Took it to an exhaust shop this morning and showed them my issue. He said he's going to just put a piece of pipe in between and weld it together, otherwise may have the same issue later on. Told me it would be $75. Dropping it off Thursday morning.

Throwing in the towel, can't get the rusted bolts to budge and I don't want to do any damage. I'm going to take it to muffler shop in the morning and have them do it.

Awesome, thanks. Fair enough on the nut, you're not wrong. I think I'll add some graphite lube as suggested with SS bolts.

What size bolt and nut did you use?
