1/4" window weather stripping from Lowes. And yes, I had to mash the cap back down and twist.
Long story short: My condensation issues came back after 2-3 weeks. Twice I removed the headlamp assembly entirely, dried completely, and went at every possible mating point I could find with silicone. Both times it seemed to work after reassembly; however, again, after 2-3 weeks the condensation would return and gradually get worse.
Last week I installed a new headlight assembly. Condensation issue fixed. However, I have to go back at it one more time and install a new Xenon Headlight Control module as I let the issue persist for too long and fried the board. (Low Beams, High Beams, turn signals work. Adaptive lighting and DRLs do not)
Don't do what I did and wait too long, that board sits at the bottom of the headlight assembly and is very susceptible to the moisture.
