I'm going to follow your example by using flexseal to protect the wood.
Does the black plastic cover on the inside of tail light fixture simply pop off?

When you unscrew it its all one assembly. The red lens covers a black plastic piece that holds the bulbs followed by a foam gasket. In my case the screws used are slightly larger than the holes in the red lens. Since they use a drill to insert them it slightly melted the plastic around the screws and they became attached to each other. I had to carefully back out each screw in increments to keep from breaking the plastic lens then detach the screws once I removed it.
I had to use one of my low power impact driver drills to get it out. I started out using a screwdriver but that approach was not satisfactory. Too much force required and I was afraid if stripping the phillips head screw.
Personally in sealing the wood my choice would be a latex caulk, or silicone, the type used for windows, applied by using your finger. A little messy but you can work it into the wood grain that way and seal it completely.
