Arn't those showers every time you open the trunk a real b*&^%.  I 
finally got mine to seal.  No more cold showers.  I took the lights 
completely off of the car, be careful they tend to stick pretty good 
and aren't cheap.  Then I removed all of the old black sealent, put 
it in a can and put it on the stove to warm.  Meanwhile I cleaned the 
mating surfaces of the car and the light assemblies.  When the 
sealent was nice and hot, soft and sticky I put a bead of it around a 
light assembly and quickly pressed the assembly into place, use as 
much force as you dare.  NO MORE LEAKS....

I did it this way only because I live 60 miles from the nearest parts 
store that actually had new sealent, and I wasn't going to spend two 
hours on the road.  When it only took about that long to do the job 
using the old sealent.
