no problem. i have messed with the air box for years and years. i actually was able to get a pressure reading difference of near 1/2 " Hg by the old method and the sealed method. proved that there was some major leaking under WOT .not that its a huge diff, but its something. 
I haven't looked yet, but is there a high temp resistant silicon that you're aware of ?

This did help me out back in 2007, and now 12 years later I had to replace the tire chain tensioners/airbox straps. Slightly different NAPA part number SCCQG2007010 and now a whopping $14.
Good Idea. I used another method for mine. Don't think my fix will work on your air box. Unless the little tabs are hidden under the strap.

The four rubber straps on my air box are useless. They are intact, but there is no life left in them and they are stretched out. The solution for me was to go to the local Napa and buy a bag of tire chain tensioners. Cost $4.50. Took about ten minutes to install. Just take off the hooks and put on the air box. The fit is nice and tight. Hope this helps someone out.
