First clean both surfaces with a scrub brush and allow to dry. Then use ordinary GE Silicone Sealant which is available at any Home depot. Put a bead 1/2 way in around the whole pad and then "squish" it into place and then let it dry for 12 hours. (aKa overnight) I've used GE RTV in a tube for everything from plumbing seals to water jacket gasket fabrication to outdoor Sat TV cable connection insulation and it has yet 2 let me down. When it dries to rubber it's darn near impossible to seperate anything stuck together with it and it lasts for Years.
