The outer lens is one piece. Take your light out and set it in the sun for a few hours to let the water evaporate out. When it's gone run a bead of silicone or model cement (not krazy glue) on the top lip of the lense. I'm talking about the corner of that lip that the lens makes by sticking up past the top of the black housing. Also check the rubber gaskets on the bulb sockets.

What Swiat34 said cause I may be wrong but I think the T/A's tailights were kinda like "soldered" together or atleast melted to together in certain spots. And OP you aint to far from me.
