keeping door/trunk/moonroof seals fresh.

On a new car people tend to not think about it, but those of you who do...What do you guys use to keep your seals from drying up? I want mine to last as long as possible. (especially moonroof...drip...drip...drip)[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

I had an 82 volvo with a crank style sunroof. I used vasoline along the trim on the inside. It had a slight drip before that and using vasoline seemed to fix the problem. If you are talking about the seal on the outside(that black rubber that turns white/grey after time) I use meguiars high endurance. I just use the same applicatior that I se on my CLEAN tires and use the corner to apply it. I dont add any to the sponge but what ever is remaining absorbed into the sponge i use and it keeps it nice and black. I use that on my 01ex...hope it helps

soap and water. The main thing is to clean and wax the doorjams/areas where seal contacts body.
