Frank, without actually removing my headlamp units I reckon there is a 9" gap in the rubber seal along the bottom area you refer to where I can poke in a thin screwdriver 6" long. I imagine the rubber seal should be continuous without any break around the lamp unit. Fortunately neither reflectors are yet impaired but I need to resolve the condensation problem before damage occurs. I have some silica bags I could lodge into the access space but that is no long term solution. It maybe a previous owner cut out the 9" strip to provide drainage :shock:
