Same problem a few years ago in my
89 GT.
I drilled an 1/8 inch hole on the bottom
of each lite and have seen it no more.

It drains right back out, and allows the inside and outside to be equal, so no more condensation, well at least not for long, just turn the lights on

Replace them, you can get a new set for a reasonable price. Do all 8 pieces!

It really is no big deal. The hole is
so small it is unnoticeable. I think
it was a factory oversite.

Try taking them off and checking the rubber around them a piece of it may have slid out and is no longer sealing the moister out!!!!!
