iPhone 6(S)/Plus Is True, 3rd Party iPhone 6S Plus Waterproofing Is Not Sticky?

[Alvin777]

Hi. I'm not sure if the repair man got lazy not installing the waterproofing that came with the Fixez.com VividFX iPhone 6S Plus replacement screen or he's right it's really useless once you've open an iPhone 6S Plus for the first time?

Fixez.com's products seems to have the same high quality as iFixit if I'm not mistaken (not your average china waterproofing thing). It looks like this (the black one is the waterproofing, the blue plastic makes it easy to apply it seems). There's warranty with the repair, I could have it installed if it's important (but delivery is going to be costly back and forth). Thanks.

I got skills to open an iPhone but if I have to remove the screen, nevermind (the camera unit is tough to put back on an iPhone 6s Plus):

That seal is more of a dust barrier than water resistance. The 6S/6S+ had no water resistance rating of any sort.. I wouldn't worry about it personally and I definitely would avoid getting water anywhere near that device.
