So, Mike, you must have ground the lip pretty much flat so that the plate fit flush with the firewall in order to use panel adhesive, right? That's my dilemma right now. The plate fits great, but there's about a 1/8" - 3/16" gap between the firewall and the inside of the DSE plate when looking from the heater box opening inside the car.

What kind of sealer is best to use in this area? I'm using a 3M urethane sealer everywhere else. The kind in the black sausage tube.
