thats not true, it can come in from where the bulb goes in plus possibly from the drain.

...so you think the new ones werent sealed enough from the plastic to the glass and then AFTER they were retroed they werent resealed again? very doubtful john.as i said im gonna resilicon ALL the edges around the glass and then im gonna try this trick from that link i posted before. the last thing i want is my projector's glass to pop like my OEM ones did

I cut the balloon in half and cut a small pea-size hole at the top nipple for the H1 bulb to go through. I've used this method before and it seems to work out great, and it's easy too.

doesnt rain to much here... i NOW know how it can affect one side or the other when luxurymods pulled my glass apart they took a chunk out of the plastic and when i shook it, water came out. i did silicon the whole surround AND did the balloon trick. i will post pics satruday monday as im leaving work now
