Product Tip of the
Day-GM Weatherstripping Lube

4:03
PM 7/29/2002

I have been working at a GM dealer for several
months now and have found a number of products that I would
have never thought to go there for previously. This one I
discovered today. It is basically designed to correct a
problem in new GM cars where the doors stick to the
weatherstripping; making it difficult to open the door. It is
silicone based so water repellent. Thought I would give it a
try this evening as a preservative on my driver's door rubber.
Downstream to prevent cracking, of course. It goes on easily
and soaks into the rubber within about 10 minutes. Leaves the
weatherstripping very soft and pliable. About $3.50. One
little bottle will do your whole car.

That is the correct number. It is a
white-coloured cream and leaves no visible residue. Just soaks
into the rubber.

Great find. Thanks.

I just replaced my post and right door weatherstripping as
part of my windshield project. Now they will stay just like
new!

I guess that "purpose manufactured" stuff is
better than the dieletric grease trick.

Does it have any restoring properties for old
dry weatherstripping?

mmmmmm....I'll have to put that on my
weatherstripping which is like new (3-4 months old) Maybe it
will save me from having to put more weatherstripping on due
to cracking in a few years Can you get the stuff at a local parts
store or do you need to get it from a GM
dealer?

I found that the di-electric grease
is...greasy. This compound is not.

If cracked I would say no. You can't restore
broken rubber. But I would imagine that it would prevent
further cracking.
