Moisture in Head light -
Yahoo Message Number: 87437
One of our head light clear covers has moisture inside - Can I take the light cover off to clean and what would help keep the moisture out?

Thank you, Virginia central Texas

I had a somewhat similar experience, but more so.  After a year or so, one of my headlights had collected several ounces of water.  I drilled a small hole at the bottom of the lens (which is plastic).
Drained out and never had the problem again.

We had the same experience and that's exactly how we solved it.

Thanks a lot Bob and John - Drilling a hole sounds much easier than taking lens off - I will do that tomorrow ;o) Our coach is just 2 months old and is a bit irritating to look out window and see that fogged up head light -

I absolutely agree!  This is more than likely covered by the warranty.

I had this same problem and was advised by an RV repair center that only Ford dealer could fix it, so I took it in to a Ford dealer and they had to replace it as I recall, only took a few minutes.
