No sealant, just slide it in and torque it to spec (23 ft lb) in a cross hatch pattern.

If it uses the foam type seal install the seal with bellows adhesive, 3M weatherstrip, contact cement, etc. The only other sealant I use is a 1/16 th bead of black RTV between the end of the housing and the beginning edge of the foam seal. No type of sealant on the seal itself
