I wrote to deMort about this, in the mistaken belief that there was a fix. In the meantime, can someone point me to a how-to on how to remove/reinstall the rear lights? I plan to dry them out and add some ventilation holes.
Open up the engine lid and undo the two torx screws. That's it!
Brilliant. I'm still new to working on the Porsche... it's the other car that takes most of the time.
It's even covered in the manual - at least for gen 1.
With the right torx (T25 from memory) it's about 90 seconds for the pair 😁
Well, yes, it doesn't take long to remove the light, once the 2x T25s are out. You still need to disconnect the electrics to the assembly, and then remove 7x T20 screws (a long handle helps) from the back, and then pull hard to separate the back from the front. I was afraid that I'd broken it. Certainly startled the dog.
There is a sort of skinny foam gasket which looks a bit loose in places. Once the light has dried out (it's in my sauna), I'll try to dab a bit of glue into the place where the gasket sits to help it stay in place. I also removed a rubber bung from what looks like a ventilation tube on the back of the assembly, and drilled it out to 2mm to allow a bit of air circulation (given the above comments). It all goes back in tomorrow.
Hopefully the light will now stay water free! _________________ 997.2 Carrera4S: white over blue, driven and tracked, seldom clean.

There are a couple of circular stickers you can peel off. _________________ 997.2 C4S PDK
