Default Do you put sealant or something under the stainless T bar (t-tops)

Trying to figure out in what order and how to install the upper trim piece and stainless T bar. Do you need to put some black sealant under it for leaks? From what I gather, there is 2 slip clamps that the trim slides in one on each side and then the stainless T piece locks aaginst it when you put it on. Any info is appreciated. I have some roll out black putty I am thinking of putting along the edge. There is 2 holes in the weldment that would allow water to flow to the interior if it got under the T piece.

I really recommend an assembly manual for this. It has drawings that show exactly where to put sealer. I don't have a scanner, or I'd scan it for you.

Do you need to put some black sealant under it for leaks? ]
I did. All around the outside edges and mounting holes on the top. I used an expensive automotive glass sealer. ($13.00 a tube) and had to work fast. That stuff set up in about an hour.
