Leaking Light On Trunk

Leaking Light On Trunk
The gasket around the rear light in the center of the trunk seems to be blown as there is a ton of water leaking out from under the trunk when I open it after it rains.
Any idea on how to fix it or where to get a new gasket?
Thanks.

I have to believe that will be a dealer-only part. I'd check with Jeremy, he's a forum sponsor from a major Audi dealer.
I would guess you remove the trunk liner to gain access to the back side. You can often search Audi on-line parts websites and see a diagram and can probably gain some insight on how it comes apart.

JUST had this happen!
Of course, it was parked outside during unusually rainy So CA weather. Opened the trunk and water streamed out of those 2 holes all over the place.
It's the seal alright. My mechanic just replaced it. He ordered the part from an Audi dealership.
He said you pop out the trunk lid liner, remove the light, and put in the new seal/gasket. Be careful not to bust the plastic clips that hold the light assembly, or you'll need an entire new assembly.
