Default Still Leaking Taillight

I put in new used taillights in my 88 CRX and its still letting water in the cab. I used the foam thing that is behind the assembly but did not glue it, should I have? What it looks like to me is that water is running off the hatch and going through the crack where the light assembly and hatch closes. Is there a way to stop the water from entering the cab. Its not getting on the carpet or causing mold or mildew but the water that does get in sits where the spare tire is; its annoying to have to go and use a towel to seep up the water.

Actually its a no show, no go car. Its stock to take me from one place to another. I don't want my car smelling like mildew when I have to drive it. Thanks for the tip but I was thinking of using some silicone.

I used silicone, the kind you put around your seems when tiling. Made a perfect quick seal and dried fast and the leak was gone

I used silicone on both sides of the foam gasket. Hasn't leaked since.
