Nahh.. It looks like one of the studs was brokern, and they accidentally put the wrong thread stud back on.. It shouldn't be that back.. Alls I know is that was a COURSE ASS stud.. And the silicone idea sounds pretty damn good.. No water leakage yet.. (We have had a Tropical Storm here for about 2 or 3 days now)
Are you saying you didn't put them on yourself? And then the people who did messed up? Daaang...

Nope. I put them on, and the left side had 3 of the same thread/size, but the 4 on that side was different.. Pissed me off, and I wanted to kill something.. But it's ok.. I got it done, and Euro Tails on a Tibby = bitches smile.gif smile.gif

Coupe2K, he is reffering to clear silicone caulking. Get one of the small single application tubes and keep the bead SMALL. wipe away the excess and there ya go. With APC light this is a FREQUENTLY used trick as LOTS of them leak for some other vehicles.
One VERY IMPORTANT thing to keep in mind though. MAKE SURE THE INSIDE IS DRY BEFORE YOU DO THIS!!!! Take them off and let them completely dry out first, if not, you have a nice permanent water box. smile.gif

So I do this to the outside of the car between the light and the body? The condensation is still there, I plan to take care of it this weekend.
Oh and I never got to thank you for the single DIN adapter you got me. The Z828 fit perfect
