what do you guys put on the weather stripping around t tops? I noticed them changing colors a lil and getting white spots Id rather them not start to crack. I was told vaseline, or silicone spray and I wanted to see what you guys thought

 

Silicone spray works well at preserving weatherstripping.

Have you tried to scrub the weatherstripping with water and a nylon brush? That will remove all of the dirt and crud that builds up on it without removing the natural oils in the rubber that preserve the seals.

 

i actually used a lil dawn and lukewarm water today to try and get as much as i could. Then i rubbed on a few coats of silicone spray. Seems to have worked well

 

It is best not to use dishwashing soap on the rubber seals on your car. The reason being is that they help dissolve oil and grease, and your seals have some oils naturally in them. Once that oil is gone, it can't be replaced, and the seals will start shrinking and cracking. Car wash, or plain tap water and a nylon brush work best for cleaning the seals.

 

ok thanks grandpa Ill be sure to keep that in mind. Appreciate it
