And the rubber part going around the outside that the screws go through was like 1" longer than it should be... its like squeezed together now that i screwed it in... and like half of it was not glued on. Also, were there suppose to be holes already drilled for the mounting screws or not?

If you're talking about through the basket (Metal) then yes.

You simply have to rotate the gasket so the holes line up. There shouldn't be any holes in the part of the surround that is glue to the basket though.

i just drilled holes in teh basket through the screw holes in the gasket... I do not know if i drilled the surround or not,.

Are you just saying that the lip of the surround overlapped the holes? If you just put a screw through the outside lip of the surround, you're fine.

i drilled the holes in teh basket, because either there werent any or they werent lined up with the gasket.

AHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA

HAHAHAhaha yeah...

wao. if you just drilled new mounting holes and went trhu the surround that was already glued to the basket you will be 100% fine.

UNLESS, if the glue is coming loose. if the surround doesn't look like it's coming off the basket then do not worry about it. if it is coming off the basket then you just ****ed yourself.
