Like a lot of things to do wit our cars, the treatment may be
influenced by the "it depends" syndrome. If the screen seal is new or
fairly new, I'd be inclined to leave it as it is. Most windscreen
replacement firms still have sealant guns from the days before bonded
screens. The sealant used to be the black gungy stuff (that looked
great on white cricket flannels) and is inserted through a narrow
fishtail nozzle by peeling back the rubber from the glass. You then
drag the gun all around the screen edge, wiping off the surplus with
white spirit when its done. Probably takes no more than five minutes
in total with the correct equipment. I'd avoid using a silicone or any
other type of sealant along the join - and besides, peeling back the
seal is the 'original' method and ensures the resulting seal is
invisible.
