And, how would you apply the liquid? To the seal, and then use a rag?



I'm assuming that I'd soak a rag with it and then wipe it on. That's
what I've been doing with the spray.

I could have sworn I had two big tubes of Sil-Glyde here too, but I
can't find either one of 'em...

CB to get rid of the horrific mess of cig lighter adapters under the
dash... yes I still have a CB because radar detectors are illegal here
not to mention against company policy...)


Just thought of something... would DOT5 brake fluid work? I know I can
buy that locally rather than having to order it.

Be careful. Brake fluid can mar your paint job.
I use the ubiquitous tire wet products on the moldings. Spray it on a
cloth and wipe the moldings.


Right, you're thinking of DOT3/4 though. DOT5 is silicone based, hence
my question . It doe *not* eat paint, although for various reasons it's
both better (higher boiling point) and worse (tends to trap bubbles)
than conventional DOT3/4 fluids as a brake fluid.
