Man I heard somewhere that wireless tech has come a long way in the last few years. Good to hear it worked out on a tricky install like that.

2018 F-150 factory paint is actually thinner than a soda can, so PDR's the only real option if you don't want to burn through it trying to sand and blend.

3 years ago my friend Brenda tried that trick with a can of flat Coke she was using for a BBQ sauce and she accidentally left it upside down for like 10 minutes. The whole paper towel was soaked through and the drink came out looking MORE watery than before somehow. I swear she never tried it again because she said it ruined the whole sauce.

Oh MAN, did you actually check for mold inside the unit when you opened it up? That trapped moisture smell can get REAL nasty if it's been sitting in there for weeks.

My buddy Mark did the exact same thing with his old punk and hardcore collection. He had them stacked flat in a milk crate in his garage and after a few years some of his most prized tapes like his first pressing of Minor Threat started playing all warbly. He was so mad at himself when he found out it was because of how he stored them. He ended up having to buy replacements for like four or five tapes from discogs and it cost him a bunch. Now he keeps them all upright on a bookshelf in his living room where it stays cool and dry.
