Replaced tailgate around Christmas after a collision, and now noticing condensation inside a taillight. Body shop says they’re not responsible and are quoting $250 to replace. Please advice.

I’ve never seen the lights like this glued in. The lights have studs in the back, they go through a hole and you put a nut on them.
Depends on manufacturer, maybe a misuse of words on my part… They do use studs and nuts but the sealant is often a rubberized sealant (similar to windshield adhesive) that acts like a glue. Some manufactures use foam gaskets, which suck balls.
Personally I use silicone glazing sealant (dow 1199) when I reinstalled my Honda tail lights and it works fine.
Yeah they’re off a bit on the description as the taillight is simply bolted in but consists of two halves of plastic glued together (inner shell and outer lens).
