Water in Passenger Side Tail Light

How do you get the water out of the passenger side tail light and what can I do to fix this problem so it will not happen again?

I just got the car and a big rain hit and I noticed a moisture build up and that it had collected water any advice would be great!

It's a well known issue (search), with a TSB, and covered under warranty. No problems with mine since the new gaskets were installed.

edit: here's the TSB, thanks to the good folks at Rosenthal Mazda: http://www.finishlineperformance.com...05-09-2055.pdf

As huey stated this is a well known problem. Dealer should repair under warranty. I just had mine done about a month ago. The first dealer i when to said that it was normal. WTF? So i took my car to another dealer and they replaced the whole light without any questions under warranty . Just make sure the dealer doesn't try to make you pay for this problem. There is a TSB print it and bring it to the dealer.

This should have all of the information you need to DIY if you can't take it to a dealer or there isnt one near you.
