I'm afraid I can't yet give you any kind of a review because I haven't even opened the box yet! However I'm quite confident that I'll be happy with it, and I would have been just as happy with the 2555LMT.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-21865903978536909292015-08-16T16:24:12.857-04:002015-08-16T16:24:12.857-04:00Kevin, my question is entirely off topic but never...Kevin, my question is entirely off topic but nevertheless....a while ago you told us you were searching for the ideal GPS that had maps for US, Canada and most importantly Mexico. I know you bought a GPS but can't find the post telling us of the type or cost. Can you remind me what you would recommend that would include Mexico maps ? Thank you very much.

I know that the screw holes that hold the brackets onto the roof are well sealed since I did the installation myself. And I know that the roofing material under the panels is still in decent shape since it hasn't been weathered over the past 7 years. And there are no areas of caulking underneath the panels. So I'm simply going to roll the material around them. The downside is that a very minor amount of water will not be able to drain from those areas, but it won't be much and it will quickly evaporate. I think it will do more harm than good to remove them at this time.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-65833544255733973212015-08-16T13:12:12.473-04:002015-08-16T13:12:12.473-04:00Working now...thanks Jack!Working now...thanks Jack!Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-38601671499288734382015-08-16T13:09:00.105-04:002015-08-16T13:09:00.105-04:00Kevin, the amazon.ca link is dead.Kevin, the amazon.ca link is dead.Jack Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13613332432946245896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-22911483455057695762015-08-16T13:03:10.190-04:002015-08-16T13:03:10.190-04:00Don't forget to take photos of your work!
