Not a little damp. Actually wet. There's moisture in the spare tire well. The carpet smells like mildew. Water's finding its way in from somewhere and the tail lights are usually the culprit. Honda OEM part 33502-SVA-A11 is the base gasket that sits between the taillight assembly and the body sheet metal. It seals the mounting interface so water can't work its way through the bolt holes and into the trunk. The gasket is inexpensive. Ignoring it and having wet carpet ruining your trunk costs way more. This fits FG1 and FG2 chassis only. That's 06-11 Civic Coupe. Not sedan. Not hatchback. If you've got a different chassis don't order this. But if you're doing tail light work on a Coupe and that gasket looks dry-rotted or cracked replace it while you're in there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHere's How Water Gets Into Your Trunk\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tail light assembly bolts to the body through the rear quarter panel. Each bolt has to pass through sheet metal to get from the light assembly to the body structure. Water follows those bolt holes. It finds the path between the bolt and the mounting surface. If there's no gasket sealing that interface the water gets in. The trunk gets wet. Slow at first. Just a little seepage after a rain. Then it gets worse. You're noticing moisture building up in there. The carpet's getting damp. The spare tire well's got water sitting in it. Mildew smell. Rust starting on the spare rim. All because the tail light gasket failed. The gasket's job is simple. Sit between the light and the body. Get compressed under the bolts. Create a seal so water can't get through. When it's dry-rotted or missing that seal's gone. Water comes in. Replace the gasket and the leak stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eReplace It When You're Pulling The Tail Light - Don't Skip It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're doing any work on the tail lights whether it's LED bulbs or replacing a smashed assembly the gasket's coming off. That gasket's been sitting there for 15+ years. It's degraded. It's compressed. It's not sealing like it used to. We've seen people pull off a tail light, do their work, and reinstall it with the same old gasket because they didn't think about it. Six months later they're calling about a wet trunk. The gasket was the problem the whole time. Don't reuse it. The old rubber won't seal anymore once it's been disturbed. It's taken a permanent set under bolt pressure. Fresh rubber seals right. Replace the gasket every time the light comes off. You're already back there doing the work. Fresh gasket takes five minutes and costs five bucks. Don't be cheap about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFG1 and FG2 Only - Make Sure You've Got The Right Chassis\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis gasket fits 06-11 Civic Coupe only. That's FG1 and FG2 chassis designation. It does not fit the sedan which is FA1 or FA5 chassis. It doesn't fit the 9th gen Coupe which has different taillight mounting. If you've got a different Civic verify your chassis before ordering. Wrong gasket and you're wasting money. The FG Coupe has specific mounting points and this gasket's engineered for that exact interface. Don't guess on fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eOrder Two - One Per Side\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou're getting one gasket per order. The Coupe has two tail lights. That means you need two gaskets minimum. One for driver side. One for passenger side. Some configurations might need four if there are multiple base gasket positions on each assembly. Look at what you're pulling off before you order. Count the gasket positions. Order the right quantity so you're not halfway through and realizing you don't have enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHonda OEM Gasket - The Right Seal\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is genuine Honda OEM part 33502-SVA-A11. It's the gasket Honda installs at the factory on FG1 and FG2 Civics. The molded rubber's the right durometer for this mounting interface. It compresses and seals under bolt torque the way it's supposed to. Aftermarket gaskets are cheaper. Some are fine. Some cut corners. We've seen cheap gaskets that don't compress right. Water still gets through. We've seen gaskets made from rubber that degrades faster than the OEM compound. They harden and crack within a year. The tail light seal is what's between your trunk and the weather. It's not where you use mystery gaskets. Buy the Honda gasket. It seals. It lasts. You install it once and the trunk stays dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHonda OEM tail light base gasket - part number 33502-SVA-A11\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits FG1 and FG2 chassis (06-11 Civic Coupe)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine Honda gasket - not aftermarket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMolded rubber, factory specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeals mounting interface between light assembly and body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne gasket per order (most jobs need two: one per side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits These Cars\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2006-2011 Honda Civic Coupe FG1 (base models)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2006-2011 Honda Civic Coupe FG2 (Si)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taillight base gasket for 06-11 Civic Coupe FG1\/FG2 chassis only. Genuine Honda OEM part 33502-SVA-A11. Fits both driver and passenger sides. Does not fit FA1\/FA5 Sedan or FD2 Sedan - different mounting geometry. Seals mounting interface where taillight assembly bolts to body sheet metal. Prevents water from entering trunk through bolt holes. Worn or missing gasket causes water seeping into trunk, wet carpet, mildew smell, rust in spare tire well. Replace whenever taillight assembly removed. Do not reuse old gasket (rubber loses elasticity and won't seal). Clean and wire brush body mounting surface to remove any surface rust before installing new gasket. Inspect taillight retaining clips and bulb sockets while assembly is off. One gasket per order. Order two minimum for complete driver\/passenger refresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e\n 2006-2011 Honda Civic Coupe \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\u003cli id=\"Included\"\u003e\n(1) Taillight Gasket\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Honda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45636067622946,"sku":"OHA-33502-SVA-A11","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2218\/5701\/files\/OHA-33502-SVA-A11_a0xz.jpg?v=1780072131","url":"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/honda-tail-light-gasket-06-11-civic-coupe-33502-sva-a11","provider":"Hybrid Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
