You're essentially building up that area and the covers lip now has a smaller opening to fit into.

Has worked great these past couple of months.

Just don't get any on the electrical prongs. Ask me how I know.
I need to try that. Thanks!

i called the people that make them and they told me where all the dealers were in indianapolis. ended up being the international dealer i get all my stuff from anyway. called them up and they have it in stock. you have to get the receptacle and their cord which screws on to the element instead of using that snap thing. total was 71 smackaroos!
