Does anyone know of any fixes for the hopper gasket on the P35i? The gasket on the front side of the hopper continually pushes away from the hopper each time we open the hopper door causing the hopper to loose a good seal. The longer and hotter the stove gets, the worse the problem is, it causes the glue to warm on the gasket and loose adhesion. Dealer came today and replaced gasket, but we know it will happen again.
 
Sounds like the wrong "glue" is being used if that's the case.

Perhaps one of the Harman techs will weigh in.
 
I got the same stove installed about a month ago and I have noticed the same issue. I haven't called my dealer yet, but I will. It doesn't seem to change the way the stove runs, but maybe it will at some point. Please let me know how the newly installed gasket holds up.
 
The service tech was so confident, he left me extra gasket to put on. So far it hasn't moved much, but I also push it forward everytime I open the hopper to make sure it stays in place.
 
How is the replaced gasket holding up? I've got a small spot that has pulled away, also. Tend to get pellets caught in there when filling hopper. Sounds like I need to make a service call...no degraded stove performance noticed, yet, though.
