Default Tail light drip

What has anyone figured out to fix the fender tail light mud drip that happens from driving down a slightly wet road?

i went under the rear fender and ran a short length of duct tape along the crease. This stopped mine on my road glide. Cheap and effective, you are the only one that knows its there.

I always thought that was my bikes way of telling me it wanted to be washed.

Lol !!! If I let that little drip be the 'Wash Me' gauge I'd run out of soap!

A spray polish between washes keeps things looking good. Then I look at that horrendous lower taillight mud drip and feel like I been walking around with a booger hanging.

It's probably the ride to work where the auto sprinklers are watering (over watering) the center median and the road is just a little wet in a few spots.

Haven't taken it a part yet but was thinking maybe a foam tape between the seam might do the trick.

Thoughts?
