Looking good!!! If you have the FAM there is quite a bit of detail about all the hidden places GM put sealant for sound, metal separation and water proofing. A lot of it gets taken off during demo and is not obvious when putting things back together. Your struggle with the vents was one reason I went with single glass conversion.
