[C320-list] Opening Port gasket alternatives

[Chris Burti]

If the gasket is not actually damaged, cleaning with a paper towel soaked
in ArmorAll on a regular basis works wonders. The gaskets accumulate dirt
which causes leaks. Cleaning actually cures the issue. The ArmorAll keeps
the gasket flexible.
