Might be the stupidest fix ever, might as well spend the money on a gasket ninja kit to do it properly

Just took the car into Herb Chambers Scion in Boston for condensation in the taillight. Was told the taillight issue was NOT covered under warranty. I have the balance of the 3 year 36,000 warranty left on the car. Is there something I can point them towards because they are quoting me $400+ to fix something that I believe should be covered under warranty. TIA.

I've had 3 tail lights (twice on passenger side) replaced under warranty so far from the Toyota dealership. If they give you a hard time search for the TSB and show them. They should replace it esp if its within 3 yrs/36k miles.

I apologize in advance if someone has mentioned this in prior posts. I did a quick search and skimmed through a couple pages of posts and didnt see anything.
Has anyone had any luck with getting this replaced out of warranty by the dealer at no cost? I just washed my car today and noticed condensation in the tails for the first time. I am out of the warranty. Thanks in advance for any information. |

Tighten the bolts just a bit. (Worked for me) Don't go overboard as it's easy to break them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The light itself it fine, the problem is how it seals to the sheet metal body. Or warp the metal and create a bigger gap. Definitely don't hulk them down! |

Well, I made it almost three years, but our El Niņo rains this past week did in my left side light. Dealer is taking care of it, no drama.

Fast forward to today, I recently traded the 2013 for a 2016 and went to swap my old painted tail lights (still using the prototype gasket) and to my surprise, found that the OEM gasket on the 2016 tails are thicker than the ones I remember on the 2013. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, as with how big this thread has gotten and how many people come in to the dealerships with this problem, surely Subaru has paid some attention. Putting them side by side, the 2016 gasket seems about the same thickness as the Gasket Ninja product. I didn't take any exact measurements though. The adhesive for the gasket still only seems to run along part of the top side though, not all the way around the gasket. So my recommendation for anyone with the thicker 2016 gasket, is to still follow the directions/video that you'll find on the Gasket Ninja website to weather-seal the gasket to the tail light housing, if you live in a rainy area, park outside a lot, or are generally concerned about water getting into the housing. And of course if you don't have the thicker 2016 gasket, I'd suggest you buy the Gasket Ninja product, yeah it sounds frustrating to have to spend money to fix something that Subaru should have fixed for free, but for the peace of mind and end to the frustration, it's well worth it.

Common place problem with all cars and the manufacturers seem to think its trivial. Problem is shitty gaskets. They make aftermarket gaskets. Some say you can drill a small hole into the light in hidden place, but that doesn't work either
