I took the time to use the spray the second time, I also ran my fingers all around the cover after I had it set in place, slightly lifting to feel if it was flat underneath, etc.

But, even after all of that, it still leaks slightly, and it's kind of embarrassing to be sitting in a drive-thru with smoke coming out of your hood in your Ultimate Driving Machine
On my E92, my replacement from ECS was cracked and was leaking. We had to remove and reset/replace it 3 different times.
It can happen.
