fill the gap between the flat panel of the boot and the support/structure pieces with silicon or flexible gap filler. 

im sure this has been covered before so next time use the search button ;)

had the same problem with mine, i went and bought a tube of sikaflex(the best stuff for the job) was round $15.....pump bits of sikaflex between the support frame and the skin of the boot....get a fair bit spread around the place. a tube was enough to do my boot and bonet and still have bout a 1/4 of a tube left over
