Thanks. Yeah, the OE was put on with just seal tape. I didn't want to install the new one with just butyl seal tape all the way to the end of the flange because dirt and grime would have stuck to it and in no time at all I would end up with a black dirt ring around it. That why I stopped 1/4" from the edge and seal around the edge with 100% white silicone because nothing is supposed to stick to it and it should stay clean and white.
I also scuffed up the new one and painted with white outdoor paint for plastic (before I installed it) so it won't yellow (hopefully)..
