SRT8CUDA Build

I'm ready to re-install the convertible top, but I'm not sure if there is supposed to be any sealer between the back of the tacking strip and where it bolts to the body. Or do you leave it unsealed so that rainwater can drain into the drain trough all the way around the whole mounting surface??????
Thx
Jim
