Both my Avy's have smooth sails and the LED center mounted high stop lamp. Each has had the lamp replaced twice by the dealer because of water entry. Vehicles have never been through a carwash and there is no water entry when parked even during a driving rain Seems the water enters if the vehicle is driven at 65 right after being parked.....not a lot of water but just enough that the tine droplets can be seen inside the reflector.
I gave up after the second replacement on each, done by different dealers......... I believe it to be a design defect and likely can't be fixed and little likelihood of a part redesign on a discontinued part/vehicle. Funny thing is if the vehicle is parked ass end facing the Sun for a few days the droplets soon turn to a mist which upon continued exposure to heat will disappear. Never affected the function of the lights but I wonder if others have had this problem. If not I'll roll the dice again for a fourth under warranty.
