Third brake light water ingress

Well after many hours and frustrations it seems the third brake light cable hole is where a lot of water was getting in and ruining the number plate light !!!

Now need a new one. If anyone has a fairly new part with a good gasket I'd be grateful if you could let me know - preferably in the north west so I can collect.

Not sure if this hole and connection should have a rubber gromit but it's not a good fit.

Hope this helps someone else.

I haven’t heard this one before for the water getting in this way to the number plate light!

I’ve updated some old posts to help people if they ever search this in the future:

Do you have anymore pictures I can’t quite work out what’s going on in that one?

Hope you manage to find a good price 8s0945097 part.
Make sure you get the real deal and not some aftermarket part!
