Need help regarding tail light...

[chronicle]

Pre skyactiv mazda 3.
Ang daming may fog sa tail light. Di naman siguro yon lahat nabangga. Tingin ko may mga instance na design flaw talaga or sealant failure.

Pwede ring sealant failure. Sobrang naluluto sa init dito sa atin.

I don't think design flaw per se. More of collateral effect ng previous history of damage, even if hindi natamaan directly yung tail light.

For ex. nabangga yung rear bumper a few years ago... hindi pala obvious na nawala 'slightly' sa alignment yung ilaw or naalog yung light assembly so yung seals na compromise. Then over time, pinapasok na pala ng minute amounts of water.

I see it on any model of car, pero mas common sa mas luma na sasakyan, or even if yung mga kahit medyo bago, pero badly abused (taxis*, company cars).


*eh ang most common pa namang gawing taxi is a "J" class Vios right?

brodesign flaw talaga yun sa vios. 3 na nagawa ko, and lahat driver side meron and 1 doon sa passenger side meron din. lahat sila naka angat yung top part ng tail light assembly.
same case nun nabanggit ni bro chron re: mazda (na meron din lancer *early to mid 2000s)
also pag alam mo kung san lalagyan sealant, pwede mo na wag butasan yun tail light
yun cracked tail light naman nun gen 2 nun officemate ko, di naman namin nilagyan ng butas pero yun to part connecting the trunk and tail light, nilagyan vulcaseal type sealant, di na pinapasok pero since may crack may moist every now and then
