Perspex light cover water seal

After this uk summer have found water ingress into the headlight/indicator/fog light compartments .it appears to be entering under the perspex(flexiglass) covers. Misting up is now a problem and the hid lights don't like it. How have members solved this'll? I had 3mm by15mm ploy foam tape below the Perspex but it has failed to prevent the water .

I remember speaks no with the blokes at Car Builder about 11 years back

They suggested using rivnuts but NOT countersunk ones and have the whole Perspex sit 1/16 inch or thereabouts above the surround

That way air would circulate and never have the mist problem.

Now why would I suddenly remember that conversation 11 years down the line?

Good luck with your sealing!
