Default sealing my vision replica corners

I ordered vision replica corners about 3 months ago from (name taken out because its a good company and i dont want to tarnish their reputation). After a few weeks there was condensation/water in them. I said ok, i took them off and put silicone all around the outside of them. They were fine for a day or two but they have been having condensation in them all the time lately. Does anyone have a clue on how to stop the condesation fairies? or should i just trash them and put my (icky) stock corners back on?

It sounds like to me you didn't seal them very well. If you sealed it correctly, there shouldn't be any moisture getting in there at all. Try doing it again and getting a good seal. Maybe the sealant you used wasn't very good.

it was waterproof indoor/outdoor silicone...would it matter if there was a hairline crack in one of them?

Definitely man. If it's not a perfect seal, moisture will find it's way in. I used to install windows, so I know this stuff pretty well. If there is any place for moister to get in, it will. I suggest re-sealing it.
