I've had a message about this and it got me wondering ..
If the water is left in them for too long then it will damage the electrics and a new unit will be required.
So is there anything that can actually be done as a long term cure ?
My way of thinking and from what i've seen is the reverse section ( clear plastic ) debonds from the rest of the lens allowing water in .
It could also maybe be the outer seal.
We are dealing with gen 1 and 2 here .
So it's damp ..
If it was my car i think i would remove the units and put them somewhere warm to dry out .. an airing cupboard perhaps.
How to stop future problems though ..
My thought would be armourfend over the entire lens .. it would seal it but i'm unsure what it would look like .. again will any heat from the unit discolour it ? i'm not sure ..
Any suggestions please ...
