This has been an on going issue with that Durango track tail light for years. I had mine replace 2 times. the issue is the cheap big sponge gaskets on each side. eventually heavy rain will begin penetrating through the upper part of it. I have a well documented open case with FCA about it . They said they were investigating it but they have not gotten back to me. I have been so fed up with he issue that on the last new replacement that was put in I sprayed it with plasti-dip. Plasti-dip is a rubber waterproof removable paint like material that has been used by car enthusiasts to cover up and paint parts of vehicles. I use it to coat those stupid gaskets that should have been made by solid rubber to begin with. I choose plasti-dip over a caulk because it is removable incase you ever have to remove the track light. Only thing is you have to spray some in the creases between the body and the light fixture around the gasket at least once or twice a year so it can continue its protectant seal. Hope this can help everyone with this issue. It doesn't matter if you get a brand new track light this issue will happen again unless it is coated. Thanks FCA for making such a cheap bullshit gasket. They have a 95K version Durango Hellcat with this same crap on it. They should be ashamed. I wish I could work for them and design a real rubber gasket for this issue since all the idiot designers there did not do a good job.
Unfortunately mine burned out on the lower section before I found this trick. I'm in Canada and just had a quote of $1874.00 to replace this light. Insane.
Sorry to hear that. Dodge should have recalled them and fixed the issue. You can probably get the part yourself for closer to the $1,000 mark and install it. It isn’t too bad and if it saves you $500-900 bucks.. it’s worth it
Sorry to hear this… it will let the water out but the light will slowly burn out. Dodge dropped the ball on these taillights. I had to replace it once so far and it’s starting to do it again couple years later
