    I think I remember when I took mine off there was some "Dum Dum' inbetween the flange and the body. So I'd say yeah, run ah heavy bead on the flange before you screw it on.

    I have had my splash shields on and off quite a few times since I first put them on. If I had seam sealer on them it sure would make a mess of the paint and make the removal a bigger PITA.
    I don't think you are going to get a lot of benefit by sealing that area of the vehicle.
