DIY Taillight seals
Taillight seals seem to be the newest rage.
I had some grey Frost King weatherstrip in the basement and thought I would see if it would work.
Basically cut to length, apply to an alcohol cleaned lens edge. Pre- clean and spray the taillight cut out with a detailer to provide a bit of lubricity. Using two torx drivers ( pushed through the screw holes) wiggle the weatherstipped lens into place.... cost about $2.65 from Lowes

Have to admit I did the same mod myself 2 weeks ago.
I went for the expensive stuff $4
Good job. The gray looks good with your color

Did it in black for mine......looks great and only a few dollars. It works great also......no more water coming out after washing the car.
