water leaking around rear tail lights
Water is leaking around the tail lights of my 1998 ES 300. Does anyone have any recommendations as to the best way to seal the leaks? Thanks

which part of the taillight is it coming in at?
i had an issue like this on my old acura, and i solved the issue by sealing the area where the light meets the plastic housing with some clear silicone sealent.

I see water coming from around the screws that I think hold the tail light lens assembly to the car body. There is also water entering from a metal seam below the light. I assume the best approach is to remove the light assembly and put a bead of sealant on one or both sides of the seal.

I thought I had this fixed but found water after a recent rain. The water appears to be coming from around the bolts that hold the bumper cover on. Can someone offer any suggestions how to fix this? Are there any tricks to removing the rear bumper cover and replacing it?
