Hi George,
I don't know if they were sealed or not at the factory,it's a good question and maybe someone will for sure know...I sealed mine though...used the standard seam sealer used by body shops.Tool box areas,wheel house to side panels,front floor to riser,etc,...smallest bead I could use,didn't get carried away...

I don't think any seam sealer was used. None that I ever saw anyway.

I used something from 3M to seal.
