I just made sure to seal every layer as best as I could during installation and periodically check them by lifting back the headliner with a pry tool and inspecting for moisture. There's so many wires in those locations as well as curtain airbag components so one can never be to safe I suppose. I haven't had a single issue with leakage, thankfully, even after some broad seasonal and locational changes.
Here is the thread with the rust damage. It's what took me from not worried to paranoid.

(I live in Seattle so the truck is in the rain ~4 months straight every winter.)
