How long do the gaskets and grommets last?

The gaskets and grommets are silicone and highly durable. They should last indefinitely, possibly with some staining from highly colored ferments because they are clear. Clear platinum silicone is used as it is the most food safe silicone available.

Don't over tighten. The gaskets start out new and tight and after a while wear down which will make it easier. Then, depending how much you use your machine, they need to be replaced.

They actually last for a very long time under normal use. Just slip the case on and you are set for years to come.

I used some gasket material with a copious amount of RTV sealant to fill in the gap on my 2014 Jetta SportWagen and it has held up well for a year, keeping the environment out of my trunk.

No grommets needed it comes with adhesive pad. The old adhesive is really hard to peel off if I had to do it again I would leave the old pad in and just use some glue to attach it.

My windows did not have gaskets but it fits snug after you tighten the screws . I compensated for not having gaskets by using silicone. No leaks at all

Following back up on here about this. No issues still. Had mine installed in Feb. Took all the gaskets out and RTV siliconed them and put the gaskets back in. I think that's what has saved me. It is still bright and works great!

these have silicone type primer padding. I would say it should last many hundreds if not thousands of times. the casings are some sort of aluminum.

It is too early to tell since I just installed the grilles this January 2014. But by the end of this August I should know if they will survive the Arizona heat. Sorry I could not give you a better answer.

Over a long period of time... I wouldn't take the chance. GET something with a rubber gasket seal.

The gasket is on the lid. It is better then most because it is quite tall and pliable so it helps keep the moisture in.

The gaskets I purchased are 3 1/2" on the outside, about 2 5/8" on the inside.

I have no idea, but the gaskets with this layout all seem to be the same across the board. I order mine here all the time and have never had a problem.

I've heard of some who have used their rubber seals for many years. I've only been using them for less than a year but I cook/can batches of dried beans all the time (once a month or so) and have reused my lids/seals about 10 times. So far so good.They come with care instructions ... So it probably depends on how they're washed and stored etc.

I can't speak to the lasting; I sold my vehicle about a Year after putting them in. In that time it lasted fine. They were an easy fix and quite inexpensive; if you get 2+ Years out of it you would be well ahead of the game. After I put them in my vehicle handled better and I actually gained a little bit of fuel economy.

Sorry I can't answer your question. I used some of the grommets but can't find them now. Sorry
