Porsche 718 condensation on center brake light?

Has anyone ever experienced something similar to this? I’ve had it on my rear brake lights but not sure if it’s also a common occurrence on the center brake light.

Thanks!

I would fit new seals and pressure test it.

I believe the Op is talking about eye level stop light mounted inside the rear screen

BTW, this Problem perplexes me as well

Probably let over moisture from that process. Go back and see the fitter

Very likely the problem.

The installer may have used too much surfactant in the spray bottle. If it gets under the gasket adhesive not a cheap fix. Hopefully some time with a heat gun will dissipate it.

Car got wet. Closed top. Greenhouse effect. Non moisture tight seal around center brake light.

Leave the top down and in the sun. Let it cook and it’ll likely go away.

Are you in south Texas or Florida?

I’ve driven in Buffalo many times. The suspension and the OPs dental work would have failed within a month of delivery.

Bocces or Franco’s for me. Bar bill for wings.
