Why is there moisture in the headlamp cover on a 2004 Pontiac Montana?
seems to be a common problem on this vehicle. I have a 2000 Montana and I have had to replace the complete headlamp assembly because there were cracks that let water in the headlight bucket. I have also seen the lens actually pull away from the whole assembly as well. The last time I replaced a headlamp assembly, I made sure I covered the lens to assembly gap with clear silicon, seems to be doing the trick so far.
