    Any tips for quick fixes on 3rd brake light leaking? Had it replaced 6 months ago due to minor leaking. On a 4 hour road trip and it's pouring outside and now leaking. Headliner getting wet too.

    You mentioned it was replaced already... If it's still acting up and you're good with silicone, you could use clear silicone to seal it up.

    Went to dealership and replaced it 6 months ago. Will have to go back. Any recommendations on temp fixes to lessen damage? On 4 hour road trip and it will rain whole time.

    First, video where the water is inside the cabin. Then any kind of tape you can get on there; Grillia, Flex Seal, etc

    Hardware store should have some weather seal caulk that can be peeled off. It is designed to caulk windows and such for winter then peeled off in spring. I would think that might work.
