Tail Light contest

I thought that I would start this because I know that there have been a lot of tail light issues but I am starting to think that mine are out of control. I have a 2008 E88 that I am the original owner of and Friday my dealer installed my 6th replacment light. At least my SA is really cool about it and has replaced yhe last two under a good will warranty as my factory warranty has expired.

Wow. I'm on top #3 and I thought I had it rough. Why do your tops keep breaking?

First was for the hole issue which was resolved via the TSB. The next four were because of a constantly malfunctioning rear defroster which requires an entire top replacement.
