If a fender extender hasn't sorted it, you'll need to dry it out again, then stick the plug back in & cover in silicon grease.

Could be a problem elsewhere. Check the connections to the coils. Maybe water is getting in there. Crimp em up tight.

You need to make sure the drain hole on the side of the engine is cleaned out and free of dirt. This then stops the plug hole from filling with water.

When you've refitted the plug cap on the front plug have you made sure that the rubber grommet is sat down properly in the grove, if its not fitted properly it'll let the wet back in.
