I used rather alot of clear waterproof bathroom sealant. The cluster is still there and hasn't leaked since. once it dried I just used a sharp knife and trimmed off the excess. The worst job is scrapping off all the balck butumen stuff.

I used homebase waterproof sealant the second time I did it. The first time I used some stuff I had lying around, didn't bother reading the label, only when I discovered it was still leaking did I discover that I had used water resistant sealer not waterproof.
Since i've used waterproof sealant, the clusters not leaked since.
Worth checking what type you used.

Mine were held in with about 6 bolts and a ring of black sticy mastic type stuff. When I removed the cluster I scraped it off. No such thing as a gasket in mine.

The absolute best stuff, bar none, can be had from (the dreaded) caravan dealers. It's marketed as a "non-setting mastic", and is for sealing caravan trims, fitings, windows etc that might otherwise leak.
Any decent 'van dealer will sell you some.
It's a greyish-white, and in a standard sized mastic tube for a mastic gun.

I'll have a look

I had a rear light letting water into the boot, scraped the black goo off and used good quality draught excluder.
Secondary seal across the top where the black plastic surround meets the bodywork under the bootlid.
