are you talking about stock center piece, or altezza center- i've heard alot about the altezzas leaking, your just going to have to re seal it with silicon gel

ya... those altezza taillights are very cheap! The only way to fix that is to reseal them. But if its your stock set up then... Check the seal on those?? That could be it?

nahh!! i think it's the altezza's.. cuz if it was stock then you wouldn't be able to see no moisture cuz of red lense. anyways... about the center piece... does it fit perfectly with the lock (hatch lock)? if 'yes' then seal it with some silicone.. if it gives you a big gap.. then i'm not sure if the silicone would work or not... but before you do that.. you'd wanna take them apart and clean them up with soap and water and let it dry (don't dry it with any cloth cuz it'd leave scratches and marks) put it back together... i'd seal all the holes around the center piece on chrome housing and somehow seal the place where lock the fits... ...i hope it makes some sense... my opinion... APC got to fix them.. it wouldn't take alot to seal them properly... but then again.. it's a nice way to make money... i'm working on LED tail lights for my eclipse... anyone has any ideas or any info... ??
