Is this the proper way to install covers on q pickup?

Great find - Right on the money. The silicon underneath is to prevent

vibration between top of pup and inside of cover. Soldering the sides

of the cover to the pup base is the preferred way, but your soldering iron

has to be able to get hot enough for a quick "on the cover, off the cover"

application - tin tip, on the joint betweeen two pieces, hit with solder,

off the joint.

I have also seen just silicon used underneath instead of solder in emergency

installs - run thin bead on both sides (while clamped), then clamp stays on until

silicone is set up/dried, generally overnite....
