WTB: 993 center reflector
Curious to know if anyone has a center reflector in new or near new condition that they are looking to sell? Please PM me or post here.

Silly question. I've asked before, but never got a satisfactory answer.
When I was at RRIII and got to see dozens of 993's lined up, I noticed pretty much all of them had moisture intrusion into the clear reverse lights. Over time, many had degraded to a mess of stain and rust. Even my car, which I bought with 16K miles had the problem. I removed the panel, and for the life of me, cannot find out where the water is getting in. I thought it is from the seam of the clear reverse lights (press fit? bonded?). A bit of duct tape over each reverse signal seems to help when I wash the car, but is not 100% effective - which leads me to question whether that is in fact the point og ingress.
Any insight? I'd much prefer to repair mine than replace it with another one that itself is bound to leak.
Thoughts?
