Fog around rear center brake light...?!?!?

Just a question for all those who have coupes. At night, I notice when I look in my rearview mirror, there's a slight fog around my center brake light. Is this normal? The fog isn't bad at all, just a slight sort of haze that spreads around the center brake light area. I think this is normal... but I want to know if it's just me or if it applies to everyone else with Coupes also. Cuz if it's just me, then I might have a poor seal somewhere or something... is that possible?

then you got a problem buddy...hehehe

try this....leave the car outside IN the sun on a HOT day with the windows and sunroof open....this way, all the excess moisture INSIDE the car will evaporate....

so....just leave your car outside in right now and see what happens

It's fine during the day... no fog... it just happens late at night, and in the early early morning before the sun even comes up...

it's from the heat of the brake light and the cold window at night... after you clean it up, you'll notice that it'll be gone..

Well, thanks for trying to help me out Gusto. Tonight, I'm gonna try wiping it off and see what happens. Maybe I'm just seeing the same fog over and over in my rearview mirror, but I only notice it at night since it's darker and it reflects off the street lights? Who knows?! All I know is I can't see it now, cuz it's so damn bright outside! hehehe! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

Alright, thanks Cue. Hopefully after I clean it off tonight, it won't come back... cuz it's bothering me just a lil' bit... cuz the fog isn't that bad at all... but it's noticeable.
