This is what I do.
Mine stuck once after a wash, because I pulled it straight into the garage and it sat for 2 days. Now it gets a 1/2 mile trip around the block and no issue.

I would seal it with something compatible with plastic. You really don't want to use thread tape with a male metal part going into female plastic as it might crack it.
