Could be the windshield. Or, if you had the lights replaced by someone else, they might have screwed it up.

You've got to clean the sealing surface on the roof very well before installing the new lights.

Some guys fill in the countersink on the screws with some clear silicone. Seems like a good idea to me.

Home depot sells a product called Wind Jammer, from liquid nails corp. Its an easily removable clear sealant that looks and feels like silicone, but peels off cleanly when you want to. It comes in a self dispensing tube and its in their caulk/sealer section.
I have used this on my lights and I havent had any issues with leakage or condensation in the lights.

How's the Windjammer working out?

I've got another clearance light leaking (seems like about every 2 years one of them starts leaking either from a crack or at the seal).

Thinking of giving this Windjammer a try.

So far, totally sealed my one wonky light. I've had to take the lamp off once because I put in LED 194 bulbs and the product peeled off cleanly with no damage to the finish or the paint.

check the weather strip on the door, there is alittle hole in the weather strip. Fill it with caulk.
