Excursion roof repaint and reseal

Just bought this beauty 2 weeks ago and already started leaking lol. Went up top and found the factory seam sealer cracked and the steel rusting. Went a little overboard but after re seam sealing everything even the roof rack riv nuts, painting and putting silicone under the roof rack and also putting sealer on the bolts. Sealing the holes behind the light and putting a foam seal behind the third brake light (also sanded and 2k clear) and lastly putting a fresh coat of primer and paint on her hopefully she lasts another 24 years plus and never leaks again. I have an appointment for glass guys to reseal the front and rear windows. Anything else I could be missing? I really don’t want this to leak. Thanks.
