Refreshing/Conditioning T-bar rubbers... how?

Post by HighwayStar »

Evening all, I have a question for you as per the title really.

What should be used on the T bar/door rubbers to keep them supple and thus water resistant?

Silicon based? Non Silicon?

Any recommendations of products used?

I now use Gummi Pflege used to use a silicon spray. Both are good, but the Gummi Pflege is easier/less messy to use and isn't silicon based. When I used the silicon spray I used to spray it into the cap lid and used a small bit of sponge to apply it ( trying to keep the silicon off the paintwork/windows) the Gummi Pflege has a built in applicator.
I normally redo the seals a couple of times a year to keep them soft.
