Yes, all those seams were sealed. Early bay's had cleanish seams where it looked like someone actually stuck a finger in it, around 74 the bead changed to ~ 10mm wide and sitting on top with a rectangular profile, all were white and most seem to be applied after final paint and look like they just came out of the nozzle, they often crack off in large chunks as the heavy outer excess shrinks and debonds.
At least the later ones didn't look as messy as what was going on over at the Wolfsburg factory, late bugs have an incredible mess that looks like it was sprayed on from 6" away, all spattery and more than an inch wide, yuk.
