The seals seem pretty robust and solid rubber as opposed to sponge material so I would think that they would be ok to remove even at 18yrs old! They are easy to remove - just the 4 x 8mm (?) nuts you can see in the picture. I should think that a clean and some vaseline would sort it without resorting to mastic applied from the outside.
