I would probably change it to the black gasket ..Then it won't show it's age
Edit
You could do with popping one out and see the profile

thanks for quick response. so do these just need to be glued or is it more complicated?0 -
They should just push in ..With all the gaskets out the bead might feel loose ..
Don't use a scewdriver or you might crack the glass ..I used a wooden chopstick0
