For those of you that own a Heritage I to Legend II with the standard 16" nozzle, how would you properly re-apply the new rug plate gasket strips (154881S)?
I have a Heritage 84, and its rug plate is in need of new gaskets. Again, for those of you who have successfully replaced them, how would you apply these new gasket strips to the rug plate? ~Ben |

I noticed that heritage has different gasket than tradition.
The pic of the part you want to order I have ordered before. It has to be glued on as it's just a gasket. If you use one pictured clean off old gasket. It only goes across outside no inner section at all. I use clear silicone make a bead where desired. You push felt onto silicone. You need a paper towel to get excess silicone. It takes up to 24 hours to dry. I noticed it's felt. I went and got like a 24"x24" piece of felt I cut out pieces for rug plate gaskets. Les |

The item he has a picture of im almost positive is felt no other materials. The tradition gasket has glue but item he listed is strictly felt no rubber.
This is the tradition gasket. I was wrong but hey. I attached pic Kent explains installation instructions. |
