did you ever think as to why water is getting in? either your tail lights have a leak (which are not suppose to), the key cylinder is leaking (which has a drain), your seals are shot, or the seal on the wiring is shot.....
either way, best bet is to keep the water out by not letting it in in the first place..... again, my wifes car is bone dry down there... the molex connector looks great (and I just had to rewire something on it a couple days ago, so I do know, yes), the padding is in great shape, etc. I've even pulled the tail lights on this car and they aren't leaking.
