    In the winter time I treat the door jam seals with PAM the cooking spray and then wipe down with a microfiber. Keeps doors from sticking shut and cheap. Paul

    Paul not sure cooking oil won`t have a long term effect of drying out the rubber

    Re: Frozen door seals

    I regularly clean/treat all of my own vehicle`s weather stripping with PB`s Natural Look. Normally works out quite well, but I will tell you after this most recent bout of cold weather...don`t do it. It will be a problem. Luckily, we don`t see this kind of cold often...like usually more than a decade between occurrences.

    I don`t know if 1Z`s Gummi Pflege or Tiefenpfleger would be any different. I have both, but NL is what I had on when the cold weather hit.

    water-based products will tend to have that problem

    That certainly has a ring of reason.

    If I lived where it got real cold all the time, I might be forced to treat my rubber weatherstriping with a silicone grease with the understanding that though it might get on my clothing (if I weren`t careful when entering or exiting the vehicle), but I wouldn`t be in a wrestling match with my doors

    Thanks everyone. Looks like I`ll give the TR a try and hope it smells as good as the natural look. Ric

    But NL cleans and protects in one-step. You know I`m always in a hurry.

    It smells different, but good.
