I've used a standard closed cell foam window weather stripping tape to replace the gasket a couple of times. I've discovered, however, that the gasket adhesive is not very durable, especially in the hot sun.
Today, I removed the most recent gasket [it was starting to come away from the housing cover again] and laid down multiple 1 inch strips of double-sided VHB tape around the circumference. It's hard to get the VHB tape to form a good circle; that's the reason for the small strips. I then added the foam gasket on top of the VHB tape. Seems like much better adhesion. We'll see if it stands the test of time.
