Misted rear light
Discussion
The mastic around the fairing will have gone. Best thing to do is to remove the fairing, let the whole thing dry, remove the old mastic sealant, then glue the fairing back into black with copious volumes of new black mastic sealant.
The question I have is, how do you get a nice even finish on the mastic? When I apply the stuff I always end up getting smears and pock marks.

Use a panel degreasant (available form car bodyshop suppliers) soak a bit of workshop paper (M-tork or whatever) and use this to wipe the excess (the sealant will disolve but the paint won't I promise)

Also don't use "copious amounts" (I guess this was a bit of a joke but..) as you'll end up being able to see the sealant from the other side of the glass
