Default water in taillight lenses

I've had my stook for five weeks, and have noticed when I wash it water pools inside tail light lenses and drips out for a few minutes. Now I'm seeing some debris in there also (grains of sand it looks like in both lenses). Is this normal??? Also, what is the function of the two indentations to either side of the grill? Just for looks? Seems it is just an air drag.

Try a garden blower to blow out excess water in hard to reach places.

This happened to me several times when I washed my car. You can just bring it in to Honda and they will replace it or use an air compressor. If you don't have one just take out the light and place it somewhere vertically. Like 2 days later, all the water will have evaporated. Latez!

I also get water in the tail lights after I wash the car (happens everytime), and its starting to cloud the lens on each tail light , not much but I can tell the difference.

I have an appointment with service about another problem, the weather stripping that is coming off around the drivers side window, and I am going to tell them about the water in the tail lights too.

Has anyone else had the weather stripping come off around the side windows on the top?

The tail light are sealed and should not leak......take them in for replacement.
