Exterior Rubber Seals

Re: Exterior Rubber Seals

Once a year, I treat our rubber seals with Dielectric grease then after that over the course of the year, I use M40. The seals seem to really like M40 and it cleans them pretty good too!

Almost 135,000 miles on the Yukon and the seals still look good (although starting to flatten a bit.....)

Same here..... not sure if a once a year treatment does much good but it's what I do never the less. That's the product GM recommends isn't it?

I do like the M40 for all the seals.........

Re: Exterior Rubber Seals

Twice a year I use Shin-Etzu silicone grease on the rubber seals of my S2000, as prescribed by Honda. I have started using M40 during the in-between months. Any suggestions how often I should apply it? monthly? bi-monthly?

Re: Exterior Rubber Seals

I guess I apply something about once a month when I thoroughly clean the interior.

I'm a huge fan of M40. In my experience it cleans, conditions and protects. I believe M40 extends the life of the rubber moldings.

About my average when I do M40, weather pending.

I don't remember what the manual says about how often, but I do it in the summer. I think M40 is good enough but, I want those seals to last a long time.

I've used M40 on my 18 year old MR2 since I bought it in the fall of 1990. I think the rubber trim still looks like new. I typically use it at least monthly.

I use a spray dressing , or waterbased dressing.. It helps from the doors freezing up in the winter in the cold climates.... Like Fargo ND
