Here are some pictures of my dilemma. My wife found this when cleaning out the insert today. My question is is gasket cement necessary between the glass, gasket and door anywhere? Also, this insert was installed in Dec. Should this be a warranty issue? It looks like the little clip thingys are a little loose that hold the glass in. I'll just put the gasket back in for now if I dont need cement but the gasket is really frayed in that one spot (see pic.)

I think the gasket sagging wraps around the d glass and the clip friction should hold it in place I don't know id you need gasket cement Take the two top clipe off
and replace the gasket you know heat can losten screws and bolts you may find you ned to bend those clipc a bit for a tighter fit You could requir waranty repair

Me personally, it would already been a done deal, save a complaint for a more pressing issue
 
normally glass and gaskets are not coverd by any warrenty. Call your dealer, if you bring the door to them they might fix it for you at N/C. i would.
 
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll just reinsert it myself. I can handle that. Wanted to make sure that there wasnt supposed to be cement there. I'll see if the dealer will throw some gasket material my way since its all frayed after 2 months.
 
FYI,

Gasket is in fire going thanks again!
