Condensation wicks in tail light housing

(1/3) > >>

LVN 67:
While at the Camaro Club of Kansas City show yesterday, I came across a beautifully restored 67 with the Mod package. Looking it over I noticed something that looked like a filter type material in each of the holes in the tail light housing. I was told that they acted as a condensation wick, and they were also on Impalas. Never seen them before until yesterday. Sorry I didn't get a picture.

77thor:
Hmmmm... I've never heard of them.
I assume that they are supposed to prevent moisture buildup inside the taillights.

LVN 67:
I had never heard of them either.  ???  Like I said, wish I would have got a picture. I will be paying more attention to trunk area, and be sure and get a picture next time.

They are on 67 & 8 tail light housings.  Because the metal back housings that cause  moisture.  Pretty sure 69's do not have them.  



cook_dw:
Heres a 68 with the wick missing.  I would guess most either dry rotted or were broken off.
