[QUOTE="tommymilan311, post: 8504808, member: 664761"] Okay. We got some ceiling work done. I am waiting for some replacement clips to come to hold the rear of the top up. And because of the rain test, I decided I want to add a layer of MLV to keep the sound out better. So. The first part was making the after market MIC work well, and be hidden. I decided to replace the old factory Mic with the after market one.
