I have a problem with water entering my driver’s side front indicator. Moisture has covered the full length of the light with a small amount of water gathered at the bottom.
Does anyone have a quick fix for this problem as I don’t wish a 500 mile round trip to Edinburgh to the dealer.
Cheers in advance

Simplicate, then add lightness.

Mine is the same - probably needs a new seal. I've taken mine out and stuck it on a radiator overnight. That cleared it for a few months, but it's now the same again.
I really should sort it properly.

As a sealant, a dod of vaseline in the right places might work...

a very common problem. i've changed loads in my time at MMC. i find the best way to sort it out is by: removing the lens, sealing around the joint, leaving it a few hours and then re fitting it to the car. oh blow the moisture out before sealing it!
