    Are you a DIY'er?
    You don't use silicone to install rope seal!
    Something you shouldn't be messing with if you need to ask. If it leaks, CO will escape.

    How will you be testing the seal for leakage once you have carried out the repair?

    Why are you replacing it. It's not that old of a boiler to have the door seal replaced?
    I would be ordering the proper seal from Grant & using rope seal glue to put in situ.

    I guess your right.the seal looks ok.its just peace of mind putting in a new one to guarantee a foolproof seal
