When I did my car, I chose not to use anything. My reasoning was that sealer
would just create a place to trap moisture.
I do get some (dirty) water forced up around the trim strip, but it isn't a
big deal, and I rarely drive it in the rain, anyway.
If you do use something, there is a 3M product that comes in strips similar to
modeling clay. That would be what I would use, if I used anything. It
remains pliable, so you can get the wings back off easily if you need to. I
used it to help seal the transmission cover, for instance.
