I am about to install new rocker panels with OEM full replacements, After rosette welding in the new rocker, should I use seam sealer all the way around the rocker panel or will the epoxy sealer, primer and paint be enough sealing? The originals did not appear to have had seam sealer on them but I want to make sure I do this right.

Thanks,

TXPower

i'm not sure what your job looks like. but when I have one that laps up into the threshold area and is visible i'll put a tight bead of seam sealer. the rest of it is left with no seam sealer. my thought on this is that water IS going to get in there and buy leaving it unsealed it can drain out.
