Are you putting the bead along the outside? I had mine replaced about two weeks ago and have been thinking about putting clear silicone along the outside. Can you take a pic of what you mean?

No, put the bead on the inside of the light. Hard to explain but when the light is off, its larger than the body so you have plenty of room to put a bead down. I still have gasket too, but this is the first defense and honestly better than the bad design. Suprised you're the first to actually comment on this.

I don't have pics or will be able to get them, but this will be better than caulk. Either way, take the light off and you can put either down and it not be seen. The 3M stuff is reusable though moreso than the caulk.

I plan on using this method. I'm assuming can get at any hardware store like lowes or home depot? Maybe a parts store ?

Is this happeneing on 2011's? Half of your posts don't describe what year you have, and the ones that do are 09's and 10's............thx

Don't think you can get it at the home improvement stores. A body shop may sell you some or a body shop supply house or else online.

Thanks - as a precaution, a week after I picked up my rig, I siliconed the top and sides of the reflector....I may do this as well.

Mine was running down the back pillar post and a little down back glass on passenger side. It was defiantly the break light sealed it with silicon no more water.
