There are two catches, one either side, which hold the lens in place. If you put a few pieces of masking tape where these catches are held on the bodywork, it makes for a tighter fit.

I had the same problem on my 2010 GS. In this case the car had been into the dealer as the lamp was staying on (even with the ignition off and the car locked). Anyway that's another story... but the dealer failed to replace the seal and a leak was introduced! The car was returned to the dealer and a new seal fitted and problem solved. |

i changed my red light for the clear type(new seal on unit)bit of a do replacing the trim though,ended up breaking the clips and had to order a new set any way it was an easy fix and if you are out of warranty the lens is not expensive.just be careful with the trim replacement. |

cheers guys the problem is that the condensation/water is getting inside the lamp unit not the boot pls check and see if anyone else has the same, problem happens when it either rains or I've washed the car, not with a power hose of course rainy-city

If condensation is getting in the lamp then I guess it must be faulty. Use your warranty! 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Problem I had was not so much water in the lamp unit but water running down the inside of the back window due to poor sealing |
