Does the etron require the use of dielectric grease for the charging port during winter months?

I was thinking about protection for the electrical connector from moisture, salt, dirt and corrosion. Not sure how weather tight the charging port protector is.
 
I asked the dealer and they said no, it might void warranty although that does not make sense to me. I have always used dielectric grease on exposed connections,
 
With the rubber cap mine never got any salt/snow anywhere near the port last winter. I suppose if you left the cover open by accident (which the car alerts you about) or weren't careful the plug it could get crudded up, but it's not likely.
