Third brake light leak
Suspect leak in third brake light on 01 SC. I have seen posts on replacing
gaskets but two dealers that I spoke to say that there are no gaskets
listed for the light. Are these gaskets between the lens and mount,
between the mount and body or both? The water seems to collect along
the top of the frame, is this typical? The rear window seal has already
been replaced with the new style gasket that runs around the perimeter
of the window.

No gaskets on the 01... there are on the new body style though.
What you have behind your 3rd is a grommet that the wires are routed through... unfortunately though, the grommet is part of the 3rd brake light and thus, to replace the grommet, you have to replace the brake light...
You may consider silicone around the grommet to attempt to solve the problem... best of luck!
