What is your opinion about the magnet being glued on? I have seen some reviews where the magnet fell off in transit, not very confidence inspiring. Especially when both the block and pan are aluminum, if the magnet comes off it's going to stick to a moving part, not good. I know the Dorman is glued on, but don't know about the Dimple-sent em an email.

 

Thanks for the replies.

The magnet is Neodymium the the Dorman is steel. Pretty sure it won't fall out. Glue is a formality.

 

But lets say you can't live with that. Buy a few small N-50 Neo magnets off Ebay and stick them on your filter. Move them to the new filter when you change it out.
