I don't know about required but I recommend it. I fought leaks for years
until I finally relented and put a bead of Dum Dum there. If I were to do it
again I would use a gasket sealer or a weatherstrip adhesive an attach the
seal to the bottom of the frame and then a bead of Dum Dum or maybe a bead
of silicon between the seal and body. Gluing the seal to the frame may take
care of the curling.
