Yeah clear silicon would be better... you can use your finger to spread it in good... hot glue is hot and once it is on it is hard to work with.

'Twas I... I forgot to reply to your pm, sorry about that. I wouldn't use hot glue... use silicon. Hot glue can fall off easily and isn't very reliable.

uummmmmmmmmmmm..ok[>:]

Go to the hardware store and pick up clear outdoor silicone, on the back it will say what it sticks to, get it for plastic (obviously) and then follow the instructions on the back, usually you just need a warm spot andjust spread it around the seem. Let it dry for 24 hours or less, and your set. I siliconed mine like 1 1/2 ago and its still works and sticking. The silicone was like $15.
