Angry Clear taillights and moisture

I put on my new clear taillights for my 99 f250 but when I go to a carwash they get water inside them. I just tried to fasten them better but it seems like the bottoms fit but dont fit perfectley. Anyobdy else having these types of problems? I thought about stuffing some sort of goo that will harden in the bottom. But Im not sure what I will do. Any help if greatley appreciated...

My brother has a 99 F150 and he got a set of those clear lenses. They leaked within a week, he took them back to the dealer and all the guy did was put some silicone around the joints. That didn't solve very much. He was finally able to get a free replacement set. Before installing we went to town with a couple tubes of epoxy all around the edges, and they have been good ever since.


Nothing beats OEM I guess.

If you're going to do it, you might as well do it right!
