Hi Ed,

What kind of glue did you use?

I have been told that shoe goo is wonderful stuff and will stick to
anything.  Well, it doesn't stick to silicone baffle material very well
at all!  I used rubber cement, and it works much better, but I'm not
sure it will hold up to repeated installations.  You may be using a
different material for the seal, but I thought I would ask.

Thanks,
Bob W.
