A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
I recently purchased a 2013 Acadia Denali. There wes some condensation inside the rear tail lights at that time but I thought it was a temporary defect. I have had it apart and found someone had drilled 5 small drain holes in the assembly.
Further investigation showed that the condensation is inside the outer cover and the middle of the assembly. I took out the 6 screws but could not separate the two sections. They are likely ultrasonically welded. Sadly, an imperfect weld is allowing air inside which condenses during temp changes. I did note that while using a heat gun on the bulb hole (be very careful not to over heat) that the water ran out the bottom rear screwhole. About 1/2 teaspoon. After getting all the condensation out, I sealed up the 5 drilled holes which do NOT go into the affected area, and put it back together. If I still get condensation I will try leaving out the bottom rear inside screw so it can at least drain. No place for a little bag of desicant unless you place it near the circuit board which is likely also sealed.
I am not sure if this will fix the problem. Aftermarket lens is $230 C$
