Hey,

I pulled my 3 month old T5 apart today for a good cleaning. I noticed that the gasket for the glass on the side that the door opens on is not very tight. (see youtube link for video below) I don't think I am having any air leak issues as of yet, the stove runs around 625 at it's highest with the air pulled all the way off. Is this something that I need to worry about right now??? I cant imagine that it is the way that it is supposed to fit, but I could be wrong. Any input would be greatly appreciated. If I do indeed need to replace it any advice or directions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 
Looks fine to me. Where it needs to be tight is between the front of the glass and the door frame which appears to be the case.
