Weather stripping treatment

[Desert Rat]

What's a good recommendation on a product to keep weather stripping soft and pliable?

I'm in Arizona, and the sun here destroys soft components. My DS door window is squeaking terribly against the A pilar and T-top seal, and I'd like to get them treated.

Just a little motor oil on you finger. Rub it in good and do that every 3-4 months.

GM recommends dielectric grease. Sounds crazy, but thats what thet recommend for T-Top and Door weatherstrip

Ive always used baby oil

Always wondered how many babies it takes to make a bottle of baby oil.

I would say a lot of tears and sweat

I'm not entirely sure that GM uses dielectric grease but I do know they use a silicone product of some sort. I was at the big dealership in the area looking at an 02 Camaro SS with 12k miles and they were treating it with something but the mechanic just said "silicone". *shrug*

Baby oil works for me.

I have always used baby oil myself but GM does supply a product specific for this purpose...can't remember the name of it though.

That is actually a bad idea to use armor all as it will cause cracks to occur prematurely.

I like to use meguiars hot tire shine or mothers back to black.
