gorrila glue... good stuff. just make sure you use it like it says on the instructions. then in the back if you can get to it. fiberglass from the box to the port. It will not go anywhere.

as for the cosmetic part. you can put a circle baffel over the top or the port, screw it down. then use a flush-cutting router tip to flush up the inside. then 1/4 round the outsides of the baffel.

routers come in handy if you know how to use them correctly and have the right bits.

good luck

I hate trying to make carpet look good with round ports...I find it so much easier with slot ports.
