Subject: Water in Turn signal

Date: 	Sun, 1 Jun 1997 22:15:40 -0500



To the continuum:

My driver side front turn signal/parking light has a bunch of water in it. 

How do I prevent this? Is there a gasket that should be replaced?  I drove

through heavy rain for about 6 hours straight this weekend.  Only the one

lens got water in it.  Some water got into my cheap Blazer projector beam

driving lights and the halogen bulbs exploded!  Not pretty, but I replaced

the bulbs, polished the reflectors, and all seems to be ok.

I also got caught in a brief downpour on a long bridge on the interstate. 

I couldn't stop to put the top up so I just hunkered down and toughed it

out.  I didn't really get wet, but the dash and inside of the windscreen

got pretty wet due to swirling wind in the cockpit.  I'm going to build a

KT windblocker next weekend.
