Bran, no need to remove your clamshell gasket to get a better fit. All you need to do is pop it loose and remove this thing. It just clips to the bottom of the gasket a few inches from the end it on each side. That's what I believe was keeping the top from seating better. It's almost a 1/2 inch thick. Those remove, gasket back on I see no diff from the fit with gasket removed :dance:
Oh and does anyone know what this is for?
