If you've left any kind of scratch on the inside surface where the seal goes it's a good idea to use silicone. I also put a little Vaseline on the inside of the seal to keep the spring in place when I hit the seal. Sometimes they'll jump out. Covering it with Vaseline keeps it steady. I drive seals every day. It's my job.......... 
I'm replacing this very seal this weekend and drilling the weep hole.
