You'd be surprised what a little bit of water can do...especially when it gets freezes, then heats up, etc...not going to get all technical-but you get the pic right? Worse case scenario if you decide not to fix...remount your 3rd brakelight somewhere else? Check on Jose's page...http://cleansc.net/. It's just a thought...be creative or not? Good luck man...keep us posted.
