Condensation in rear lights

[SteveB_NI]

I have just returned from a Vauxhall dealer where I bought my Astra Sport Hatch SXI from in late August...

The problem? Condensation forming in both of the rear lights.

I've discovered it only really at night when I drive home (30mins drive) but obviously the dealer is not open at this time... they are refusing to replace th seals / lights unless they see the condensation themselves!

I've agreed to leave the car overnight - based on their suggestions, but to be honest I think unless it's been driven no condensation will form! They said that the heat of the rear lights should disperse the condensation but no joy.

I'm not sure what to do here - I feel like im being called a liar by the dealership!

It will disperse it, but when it cools down again, it will come back.

You can cure it yourself by popping some of the Silca gel packs (found in shoe boxes) in the back of your lenses, works a treat.

mmmm I would rather something "proper" is done about this - like resealing the lights or something.
