I've searched the board and couldn't find a thread on this so I'll start one.

Normally I hand wash my L but went to the local coin car wash with the high presure hoses. Low and behold, I've got water in my drivers side front directional lens... looks like a real pain to get this thing off so I can blow it dry.

Don't see any cracks in it and I really didn't use the high presure much. Don't have any idea how it got in there!

Anyone got any ideas? Does the grill have to come off just to pull the lens? I really don't want the water to dry and fog the insides so any help is appreciated!! Clear lenses and fogged insides is the pits.

 

I have seen a post similiar to this somewhere, the way the guy resolved this was to remove the signal housing and drill a small hole in bottom, (Not in front)
I know one other guy that also had to do the same to his mirror's housing.
Seemed his problem was he showed the truck and after it was washed all dry he would drive away and the mirrors would start dripping.
I never really noticed this on mine, but if your getting water in your lenses (signal) you must have a crack..Either buy new white out lenses or silicone the originals to seal the crack, if you don't wish to drill.

if water got in that light, the seal around the light is bad. dealer should replace it for free under warranty. i see that alot on ford vehicles, no flame intended, but im being serious. if that seal is bad, it would have gotten water in it anyway even if you washed it. no water should be able to get in there , not under pressure or even submerged under water. i dont know how to take it off to blow it dry, cause i dont have a lightning, but why make more work for yourself, its only gonna happen again, bring it to the dealer, im sure they will replace it for free.
