Some more interior pics with the new hardware. Also painted the window trim black.

Replacing the running lights with some LEDS, they were the closest I could find to line up. They should do the trick.

So I replaced the Bergman lights with the LEDS that were slim and close to lining up with the old holes as possible. Rewiring was quite a challenge with the only wire crimps that would fit back in the narrow channel were not what I normally would have chosen. I wanted to get it done so I could flip the top over and work on sealing it. The lights were the last item on that side to complete so I'm excited about getting it flipped over.

Hello, I m curious if you sealed the outside of your roof top. If so what product did you use? I really appreciate your posting as it's been a great help to me as I tackle my own roof repair.

I used Henry roof sealant (the non silicone) it is supposed to reduce heat, it goes on easy and made it look cleaner. I sealed the seams on top with dicor self leveling lap sealant, the sides with dicor no sag sealant.

Here's some pics of the roof exterior. The plastic corners cracked and I reinforced them with the metal corners. That has made them a lot more stout. The aluminum plates on the back are to reinforce the HECO brackets and prevent the dreaded pop through the roof. It is well sealed and has held up to a few months of rain with no issues. I keep it tarped in the winter in the PNW we see a lot of rain.
