Dave, NO, I don't think it is fun. The parts required are those little white MB trim clips that have been sourced very inexpensively from 'fleabay'. Labor is the only other cost (unless stuff is broken when ppl rush or hurry before seeing what has to happen to get trim off). After verification of no damage/damage those plugs can be opened up to let future potential water intrusions drain. It also isn't fun to not be sure and chase problems that might be sourced in that set of modules. I did it long ago, realized the problem with not being 'drainable', and done a SIMPLE thing by opening up the plugs JUST IN CASE. If and when someone has a problem with these two modules due to water damage, doing the 'paper test', and finding out the damage was in either or both modules, I hope they come in here and tell everyone their story AND how much time and monies they expended trying to fix it in the wrong places. So members, if you choose to only dip a slip of paper into your lower bay then you go right ahead and do that. You (Dave) and I both replied to a member who has a problem, your solution MIGHT be enough for his/her problem. My option might be required. It is after all, options that are given here, right?
