Seams to be sealed

Can anyone tell me what seams need to be sealed on the underside of car to duplicate factory appearance? I sealed between inner and outer wheel well, bottom of trunk drops and back edge of trunk. I know there was a lot of seam sealer used after it was painted on the interior floor and cowl area and such but dont recall where it was on bottom of car before I cleaned off under coat. There are a lot of seams but sometimes less is more when it comes to seam sealer.

None of the seams for those floor pan reinforcements got any sealer. The reinforcements were on the underside of the one-piece floorpan, so there was no need to apply any sealer. Joints in the floorpan itself, such as where the toe pan is lapped to the floorpan below the firewall, got sealer on the inside.

Thanks Joe,
Thats what I was leaning toward. Too much sealer in the wrong places can also trap water and cause worse problems. Gotta think like a drip......
