I am getting water (damp) on the inside of my rear light covers after heavy rain or washing with high presure.
I wonder.
Is this cover easy to remove to clean it on the inside and to figure out how to seal it to prevent the water of getting in?

From what ive seen Michael, the covers are held in place by small metal clips, so once the unit is out the car it should be quite easy, can't help in getting rid of the misting problem though ?

The cover is held on by screws situated in the boot after removing carpet from rear valence. The whole perspex plate then comes out and be cleaned from the inside .

Once the present misting is removed, you can place (fix) a small satchet of silica gel (check through your wife's shoe boxes) in the inboard rear corner of the cluster to prevent this build up reoccuring.
