<after a restful night of sleep...>

All around the edge of what? The lower edge of the actual poptop
clamshell lid thingy? I'd-a called that strip "edging," or "trim," or
"weatherstripping."

It's called a gasket?

No one ever tells me anything.

This wasn't even worth getting up for. I'm going back to bed.
