help with the rubber weather stripping

[Ambassador]

could i put mineral oil or some wd-40 on the stripping so my doors dont keep freezing?

when i re-greased the tracks on my manual windows i poured regular oil into a funnel down the weather stripping of the window... ever since i haven't had any probelms with them... they roll up and down like a dream. brand new feeling.. i would think tyring the same thing on your door seals would work... just put some oil on a rag instead of using a funnel and coast the rubber in the oil.... or if you wanted to make sure it sealed the best possible... take the rubber seal off and soak it in some oil lightly... then take all the excess oil out of it how youd get all the excess oil out im not sure.. be creative im sure there is something you cna do...... by the way.. WD-40 won't work properly. for this case.. you have to use regular oil

I used to work at a G.M. dealer, we had this ****, I'm not 100% sure what it was called though. I think it was "silicone emulsion" but it was supposed to help keep weather stripping looking new and keep it from freezing and ****.

It was your global idea to search for threads in extintance/existance so I hit the one I thought was most appropriate!

I need a trunck Rubber, dam it! I hate watter in my trunk, it draws snakes, remember Wisconsin?

It may be a dealer item...whatever...I looked at Mike Moss's inventory and didn't see anything even emailed him this AM, no reply yet.

Where is Ernest Angely when we need him...leak Bee Goonna!!!

What sort of undercoating are you refering to Jack? This freezing doors is driving me nuts.

just your average greasy undercoating spray, comes in a skinny tall can usually. i grabbed mine from canadian tire, just do a test spray first, should come out like clear foam, mine was almost a pink colour.
