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.

    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.
