Checked it out thoroughly today and no water anywhere.  So my reseal job seemed to do the trick for now.   The annoying thing is the sealant I used stayed really tacky on the surface so a bunch of dirt has stuck to it.    Not sure what that’s about.  Oh well.  Got a factory reconditioned radio off eBay but they added a Bluetooth receiver into it with a button.   I’ve always been skeptical of these mods but decided to try it as I’m not a fan of aftermarket stereos.   To my surprise other than the long shipping time, it works perfect.   Now I just need to replace the speakers as these stock ones are all blown out. Also got the bulbs replaced on my gauge cluster and re oiled a couple of the air core motors for the oil pressure and fuel gauge as they were a bit loose (“helicoptery”).  Seems much better now.  I don’t remember before but the lower right corner of the cluster still seems dark to me but I don’t see a bulb down there so maybe that’s just how it was. ‍ I’ll get some pics later.  Got the dash back together still need to get cargo light and fog flight switches operational.  But for now the important stuff is working.  And hvac is still good too.   Planning to get the rear seat cover installed finally and clean out the stuff under the back seat I no longer need in there.  Also hoping to get the power mirrors working again. Both inop so starting with switch and seeing if there’s power in/out of the switch. Also hoping to get front speakers installed before heading out of town this weekend.   Hope to make the drive a bit more enjoyable.</blockquote>
