check the antenna aswell, for any obvious holes

make sure all the bolts that hold the rear lights are nice and hand tight

Aah, hadn't thought about that, mine is broken, but the seal is OK I think, doesnt explain water on both sides in same place, am going to remove the antenna anyway as I never listen to radio (ever) or do the S2000 one?

okay guys i just called peter warren honda dealer and i was wrong with the price... but they arent $25.... they are $63.05 each so DIY them if you have to FCUK paying 120 for a pair of gaskets

DIY isn't far off that price.

Neoprene isn't cheap.

or you can buy foam

clark rubber :) the foam is pretty cheap enough. to make 2 gaskets would probably be like $10-15maxx

foam is worse than shit old oem, I've tried.

But anyway, its not the OP's problem.

its the cracks.

Mine is aftermarket too, the seal around my sunroof caused it. Changed the seal, all good now!

you are kidding me, why has it gone up.

i know i still have my reciepts for my gaskets somewhere here, but damn, $63ea is a rip

Drill three small holes at the bottom of each light. It's the cheapest and easiest fix.

i have the same problem on my dc2r. Had water flooding my boot too. I just went to buy black silicone and sealed up the small gaps around the lights.. though i would recommend letting the silicone cure for at least 2 days. I didnt have the time so when it rained the next day black stuff started leaking from the lights.. I also wouldnt recommend speeding up the curing process with a hair dryer too, it just makes it crusty and not rubbery

Just go to the Op-Shop and buy a cheap/used wetsuit, then cut out your own gaskets. Can pick them up for like $10-20.
