The problem is the rear tail light seals. The assembly only uses three mounting point and there should have been four. The rain water travels down into channels in the body and dumps the water over the tail lights. What I did was to apply 1/4" < > 3/8" bead of silicon sealant to the dry gasket while it is still in the light housing. Allow the silicon to skin over. Place wax paper over the light cavity where the rubber gasket seals on the body and lightly install the whole light assembly and hand tighten the nuts. After twenty four hours, the silicon should be dry. Then remove the wax paper and tighten the tail light fully down. This is what I've done and I haven't had the problem return.
