Any complaints about the seal being flimsy, thin or of low quality?

Mine was purchased for an upcoming rebuild that has not happened yet. I do not know about how it fits. I did get it out of the box and it seems to be thick and full. Looks like it is a soft rubber compound that will work much better than the deteriorating foam version I have now. Sorry I cannot give complete installation report as it is still on the to do list.

It is very thin. Ours was a square 1/2 thick filter. This one fits in the same area but is about a cm thinks so it does not fully seal.

There is a thin rubber gasket around the lids, this makes the seal very secure. I have had the canisters for several months and have no problem.

No, I've never notice that it leaked out over extended periods of not being fired. Seals pretty good.

I've dropped mine several times and so far no cracks although I wouldn't recommend making a habit of dropping it. : )As far as cleaning goes, I run the bottom portion through the dishwasher but clean the top two pieces by hand to keep the seals working properly. If you rinse it after each use, cleaning is a breeze.

The caps are not real sturdy so they tend to end up warped a little when tightened down, though they seem to still be watertight even through multiple opening/sealings. They're so inexpensive that it doesn't bother me, not very noticeable.

mine had no seal with it and i haven't had any leaks yet. used it all summer with a lot of rain , maybe it's your rubber seal that it sits on that needs replaced.

Actually, this is not that big a deal. Many manufacturers actually recommend you remove that seal to wash it from time to time. It acts as a buffer, so as long as it is put back into place and doesn't lose it's shape (of the seal itself, not the shape it forms as a whole), it's fine. When you reinstall it, use a dull butter knife to "lock it" into the track.

Not really sure I've used the one you mention. I do know that this has been a perfect replacement for the previous one. I've had it for nearly a year now, and there has been little if any degradation or loss of seal. I have had to tighten the mask a bit since I first got it, but it has held up better than the original.

No seal is not a good sign.........easily could have leaked. Otherwise the product does work!

It has leaked for my wife but not myself (we own two). It would seem that the quality of the seal varies. Due to this, I can't safely recommend this for bag carry.

No doubt, the seals are snug. I have to bear-hug mine and work it from both ends back and forth using the light gay clips until it lifts. I am ok with this if it means no leaks!

No problem with rubber seal. I live in a very windy and sandy place and every couple months I have to take it apart to clean behind outside lens. I once broke the belt clip getting out of the car and the service getting it replaced was something out of the 70's. Very friendly fast and free. I would buy another one any time.

I haven't owned it long enough (i.e. field tested it) to judge. Need to realize that there are several seals - not only the obvious perimeter seal, but internal ones around the lens and sensors. They are thin seals, very flexible, but quality. I have an old professional scuba camera and to maintain the seals you use vaseline. I'm going to use that same maintenance trick on these seals to (hopefully) maintain their integrity. Hope that helps.

It is clear. But I got mine and the waterproof seal doesn't stay closed. I might have a dud but it's up to you

It's actually better if it is difficult to pull out -- it means the seal is good and won't leak residue. I think maybe mine is a bit easier after a year; be sure you are pulling it straight out.

Mine didn't have a seal, and I didn't see any leaks. I didn't have it on during any hard reason though. Hope this helps.
