Confused on leaking taillight fix

[hofffam]

My 97's right and center taillights let a bit of water in them, typically from a car wash. No leaks into the trunk or anywhere else.

I've read several of the posts here on fixing this. Some talk about using heat to open them, etc.

But if the taillights are dry (which doesn't take too long in Texas heat right now), do I need to do anything more than seal them?

Do I even need to remove them? Do I just need to put silicone caulk where the black plastic meets the red lens plastic?

The back of the NSX taillights is open...pretty wierd

Outside of condensation which would affect the L and R together your problem is most likelly a bad gasket on the right and the center must have a leak in it.
