    The original installation didn't have a sealant, and those held for quite a few years. With reproduction rubber however, it may or may not do as good a job. If it were me I'd put in a small amount of sealant. Big gobs of sealant would make for a sloppy (lumpy?) looking install.

    08509 is a good product, used it lots. Not impossible to clean off if the window ends up being a re do someday.
