When it rains water leaks into the rear dome light and drips into the inside of my jeep. The light doesn't work because of this and I would think this would be an electrocution hazard. I can't have anything in the back of my jeep that could be ruined by rain water.

After a rain showers in vancouver, wa I entered the back hatch of my car to store my work gear before I left work and there on the tire cover is a puddle of water. I looked up and the assembly as well as the surrounding headliner are soaked. While turning water comes out in a nice solid stream and lands on my clothes and other personal items.
