I'd like to ask what may seem like a stupid question about sealant.

You guys state here that sealant is not needed - but in the FSM it says that you should use it, and the following thread is a "special order thread" for the sealant:-

where to find Windshield sealant, non-hardening type...

So can someone confirm whether sealant should be used or not?

Is it just a case that in dry parts of the world it isn't necessary?

I live in the wet so I plan to use sealant.

If I were to go for 3M products would this be the correct sort of thing?
