Step #6: Before applying the supplied rubber gasket you will need to clean the
area the gasket will stick to. Use a mild cleaner such as 99% Isopropyl
alcohol, but nothing aggressive like acetone as acetone will destroy
the lid.
Step #7: Once the cleaner is completely dry, start applying the gasket so the
seam will be at the same point the factory gasket was as shown in Fig
1.3 on previous page. Don’t over stretch the gasket as you’re applying
it along straight passes, but at the same time, don’t allow it to “bunch
up” in the corners or the lids will not close properly. Make sure the
adhesive portion of the gasket is stuck to the bottom portion of the
trough all the way around. When you have the gasket all the way
around, you can expect to have some left over that can be carefully cut
off using a sharp knife or scissors. Once the gasket is applied and cut
to size, re install the 2 factory screws that hold the key lock in place.
Step #8: With the lid painted side up, sit the metal mesh grill into place using the
tongue on the grill and the groove on the lid. Install black Phillips screw
as shown in Fig 1.3 on previous page.
Step #9: Remove the 4 screws shown by the white circles in Fig 1.1 noting the
cloth tether will also come off at this time.
Step #10: Locate the metal plate with the passive crossover installed and sit it in
See gasket profile. The gasket needs to be applied so
the flat side is adjacent to the outside of the lid!
