i'd do it again, make sure you clear off all the old sealant and just start fresh, i did it to mine and never had a problem, which surprised me cause i thought for sure i'd screw it up.

scrape off as much as you can of the old stuff and make sure you seal it up tight i haven't had a problem at all since the first time i did 'em

I've never done this but did you make sure you let the paint dry before you put it back together? I don't know if this would cause condensation though.. but just a thought, other than that I'm with everyone else on re-doing the seal..

Automotive Goop is good. You can buy it at Canadian Tire. It is in a red tube, like a toothpaste tube. Make sure you get clear!
