No seal on 3rd brake light?

I was looking at the factory delivered chips on the spoiler above my 3rd brake light and noticed there is a gap around the light, guessing it is sealed internally?

It’s not really apparent, but that entire piece, including the spoiler comes off. That part is sealed I believe there is a gasket around the light as well. I found this out when I relocated my camera to my cap. Even if water got in there, it couldn’t get into your truck.

@bking Thank you!

ya the only part that's truly waterproof on the composite spoiler is the rubber grommet w/butyl & tessa tape that carries the harness loom from 3rd brake & 2 cameras into the cab ceiling. There's an intentional gap around the external camera housing to allow moisture to escape.

I relocated my cameras yesterday and got a good look at all of this. there's a closed cell foam rib that runs the perimeter of the spoiler, should keep nearly all of the water out.
