New rear covers can be bought, which have the seals...

Left:
63 12 6 928 413

Right:
63 12 6 928 414

About £9 each, and about £2.50 for a new clip if you wanted.


My nearside front one has got a tad condensated again lately, only very slightly, but I think the seal is the issue, so will probably get a new rear cover (the seal at the inside edge can get crimped on fitting at the funny angle (doesn't sit right basically), and mine had it crimped when I bought it, and the seal is now kinda damaged and is probably a point of entry for water)

Easy to dry out/fix though

as mr whippy said - you can buy the rear cover with a new seal - I did.

make sure you get it dried out before resealing though...

and dont leave the car running with the lights on while stationary - you will ruin the light.
