Water inside rear blinker casing

Hi,

I recently noticed that there is about 1cm of water at the bottom of the orange rear blinker casing. There are also lots of droplets on the inside side of the plastic. Currently this seems to have no effect on anything, but I'd like to remove the water before it gets any colder here so it wont freeze.

Is there any way to remove the water aside from sucking it out with a straw?

You mean the rear light cluster, you can just remove the whole cluster and face it up. There are just 3 nuts the light holders just pull out.

Where are these nuts? Under the panel that has access to the lightbulbs?

Remove the black plastic panel that is in the boot. It is just one nut and slide it towards the centre of the car to get it off. Then two or three nuts hold the light cluster in. 5 minute job to get it off, the seal around the light cluster has probably failed which is why yours has got water in it.
