Beware, Thor Windsport/Hurricane speaker/120v install

I pulled both of my speakers on my 2017 Windsport because they had rotted. The front one all the wood behind the speaker was dry, but the rear one was wet, and had been for a while. It was wet on the top and right above it is the 120v power outlet. I pulled that out and saw water damage halfway up the wood in that part of the wall. The outlet was installed using only the foam gasket that comes with the outlet cover as a seal, no calk, no butyl tape.

I reinstalled with butyl tape. I will let this dry for a few months before I use some git rot to fix the weakness caused by the water.
