48-52 vent window?

I noticed the 53 truck assembly and sealant manual shows sealant under the vent window seals. Do the 48-52’s get the same sealant?

It's been 20 years but I don't remember using sealant on my 48.

I have pulled several originals out and never seen no kind of sealant?

When I pulled my delaminated vent window glasses out, the seals where like new and perfectly staying in place in the frame. Pushed the new glass with a minimum amount of sealant back in and called it a day.
