I like the bead idea and I am sure it works great, but would it not make more sense to put the bead on the edge of the lid, instead of the inside edge of the lip and then have the gasket on the inside edge of the lip on the deck. If it as watertight as you say it is, would it not help to keep water from getting near the magnets? I know, the magnets are sealed well under glass, etc. but this extra precaution might help in the event that the seal on the magnets was lost.

Basically, I see reversing the whole set up as having advantages.
