not really. Pretty easy actually. I just thought of something tho. Look at the tallight lense and the taillight body and make sure there isn't a gap there. Thats what my problem is.

The reason it is going to suck is the screws are stripped. I'm going to have to figure out how to get them off without damaging them.

Get some easy-outs, you will have to replace the nuts/bolts but it will get them apart.

I have the same problem no too worried about it car sit in garage so doesnt see much rain, however for a temporary fix i just took out the drain plugs in the bottom of the tire well so if any more water comes it it just runs out the bottom of the well till i get around to fixing it
