clear corner condensation

by **krook** » Tue Oct 08, 2002 7:17 pm

i got my clear corners off of ebay, and they look sharp; excpet for my driver's side one. there seems to be some condensation on the inside of the lens and i don't know how to get rid of it. please help!

i was told you can use a hair dryer to dry the condensation. and then get a silicon sealant to close any holes that may be there around the edges

That's a characteristic of most aftermarket/Non OEM parts. They are made with poor seals.

I get that when I wash my car, but it usually evaporates quickly.

I got the same freagin thing going on with mine! They get condensation in them but dry up after a day or two, but still I hate them to have that watery/bubble look at night when I turn on my blinker.

hummm....i kinda wanna try that..but i'm afraid i'll crack the plastic...maybe it's best to just spend 30bucks off ebay and buy em. plus i bet it's easy to get the amber out, but practically impossible to get it back in.

actually, it isn't that easy to get it out =P you have to crack it and hope it breaks off cleanly. i tried putting mine back in with glue. i didn't really try hard enough, wasn't worth the time.
