you could try a contact glue like bostick or the likes. cheapest way to get some is to drive through a chav estate and look fer one passed out then nick his glue bag

I remember hearing somewhere that it isn't necessary to glue them in. Could be a load of bollox tho.

Liek Slob said I would go with a contact glue evostick type stuff, however I think I would buy some rather than nicking it off some chav estate

I used automotive seam sealer from a mastic gun,it sticks like poo to a blanket but there are probably cheaper ways of doing it.I figured that it would keep any water from getting between the seals and the rust-prone bulkhead.

I used ordinary silicone sealant (clear) and it worked fine. The new seals will look like they are a poor fit to begin with but if you tighten the vents down completely after applying the sillicone they will eventually settle down and the edge of the vent will seat itself in the new seal.
