Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You might have to remove the lens assembly, dry it out on the radiator at home, then seal assembly with clear silicone sealant i.e Bathroom sealant and then reassemble onto car. Dont dorget the drain tubes. Its the small cracks in the assembly that lets in water that causes condensation. Try to wipe the sealant into all the cracks. I did this on my old 964 and it worked.

I believe later lenses etc had a small hole in the bottom to let any water out. Might drilling a small hole in the bottom of your reflector strip etc help? Kind of the opposite appriach to poon Migration info. Legacy thread was 3378

I think there are already some holes there mate. Best follow Poons advice. Cheers anyway. Migration info. Legacy thread was 3388

The point is to have a "proper" sized hole so any trapped water/moisture can escape whereas a crack lets a tiny bit of moisture in but doesn't offer any airflow/exit/whatever for it to get out. I am pretty sure the later Porsche reflectors had a hole with a drainage pipe or something rather than being sealed. Could be wrong though. Migration info. Legacy thread was 3389
