1- Don't use silicone--i'd suggest dielectric grease, never hardens.
2-cut a little part in the square for the thermistor in the middle of the socket, push it through.
3-yes.

first tanx for the replies

2nd in which kind of stores can i get dielectric grease.
ive alredy tried in an autoshop and they didnt know what im talking about.

3rd the sensor is a led like diode, its sitting on the board like leds.

4th is it better to put dielectric grease in the back instead of silicone?

For Dielectric grease, go to auto parts stores. This is what I use:

If you do put neoprene in the middle, do it like I did:

Doesn't really matter. The main advantage of dielectric grease over silicone is that it comes off.
