    Hey guys I'm not at home right now with the truck but I will be home later tonight. Wife said it appears that the third brake light is leaking water into the truck what are my options to fix this? Can I replace the gasket under the housing?
    Or is it more detailed than that?
    Thanks

    I took mine out to install a "flasher". When I put it back together, I shot silicone glue around the interior. before I put the light back in. I painted the rubber gasket that meets the truck roof with liquid electrician's tape and slapped it in. Mine is a 2014. So far, so good.

    It is or should already be glued in place. I would remove it. clean the area and use Silicone to reseal it.
