It's been wet and nasty in Dallas for the past 36 hours or so. When I went out to my car after work this evening, I noticed some water droplets in the left taillight.

It's not real bad, but it didn't used to do it, even after repeated power washes.

Is this a dealer worthy issue? I might pull the assembly out this weekend and see if I can locate the leak.

Bring it to the dealer. Johhny from http://www.Club-s2000.com had the same prob and they replaced his assembly under warranty. This should not happen. Good Luck

Wow, mine's done this ever since my first washing, thought it wasn't any big deal...

You really think the dealer will take care of this?

mine does it too. I have hard water, so I noticed the little drops that luckily didnt make spots too badly.

Having hard water forces me to use a blower to get all the water out of crevices on the car...

You guys are lucky!..I notice it at night sometimes..I have it in both corners of my headlights where the turn signal is and the in both taillights too!..I guess if spots start showing up then i'll bring it to a dealer but it seems to clear up pretty fast in mine..
