My Right taillight assembly is fogging up due to a moisture leak somewhere. Are the rubber seals still available somewhere?

If anyone has them it would be mazdatrix or black dragon...not sure about availability, but that would be a good place to look.

Just use a heat gun or a good blow-dryer to warm up the seal, then gently pry them apart. Try to only use your hands because the plastic could crack with a flat head or something. If you use a heat gun, dont melt it!
