X2 on that they fixed it on the 08' as I frequent the auto wash as well. Seems there were some issues with 04-07's glad I waited for the problems to work out before I got mine.

My gasket was wrinkled and out of place when I took the light off to fix it. Had really strong goopy cement that I had from a clothes dryer repair, and put that sparingly on the light where the gasket goes, let it tack up, put the seal in place, let it dry real good and now no more leaks.
