    Re: Noisy door seals?

    I’ve always heard good things with the Gummi Pflege stuff, though I’ve never used it.

    When I was working at the Audi dealership, they had us use silicone spray (if memory serves, it was Castle Big 5) you’d spray it into a towel then wipe the seals down). As Accumulator mentioned, you could use it even on the felts that contact the window and it wouldn’t streak after it had dried. Disclaimer: Not sure if that was Audi’s official stance, but it had become standard practice for everyone in the shop. Never saw an ill effect from it.

    I’ll +1 Rasky’s Honda ShinEtsu. I’ve used that on my wife’s window tracks/seals on her civic at the time, and it was easy/clean to use. Since then I’ve used it to lube sunroof seals on cars at work to get rid of chatter.

    Onehadlite- I`m surprised that the Silicone Spray didn`t streak up the glass (after drying), but I`ve been surprised before and if it works, it works

    FWIW, my Audi dealer uses Wurth`s Rubber Care in the aerosol cans (not on my vehicles though ).

    Thank you, Oneheadlite, for this excellent suggestion. Sunroof seals take a heat-and-UV-beating on the roof of any vehicle.
    Can you purchase this lube at a Honda dealer`s part department? Just curious for someone (me, in particular) who buys car-care products over-the-counter (OTC) .

    Yes`m, that`s where I got it. Honda Part number 09798-9013. If memory serves, I think I had read this was their product to address targa top chatter on NSX`s.

    Not sure what it`s made of but is WD-40 3-in-one RV Care Rubber Conditioner safe to use? No where on the can or web site does it mention Auto use, only RV`s, bought it at Walmart...

    Looking at the spec`s from their site and SDS sheets it looks like it should be safe to use. But I would test a small area first.


    Personally I have used: 303 Aerospace, Meguiars #40 Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner / Conditioner, Nextzett Rubber Care Stick Gummi Pflege.

    I prefer the 303 or #40 just for ease of use. The Gummi Pflege works well but its not as handy as I anticipated.

    While I don`t share TroyScherer`s appreciation for 303 or M40, I agree that the 1Z/NextZ and Wurth Gummi Pflege "sticks" aren`t as handy as one might expect. Using the stick`s foam head applicator will usually result in awful staining of same (at least eventually) and it`s not really the right size much of the time. So as with products like 303/M40, I use something else to apply the stuff in those sticks too. Swabs and disposable touchup brushes work well for tight spots and thin bits.

    Not that I use such products nearly as much as some people seem to...

    Re: Noisy door seals?

    I agree that the 1Z applicator tip is not up to the job. With the 1Z Gummi Pfledge I pulled the foam tip off. I squeeze some out the nozzle into a folded corner of a MF and then use that moistened MF corner to wipe onto the rubber seals. I swear that this stuff makes the seals `puff up` or swell. I don`t see 303 or M40 doing that. I do use 303 though when I don`t have enough time to apply the 1Z properly.

    The first time I used Gummi Pfledge many years ago I think it had a deodorant-like roller ball. It applied much better than the liquid shoe-polish like tip we have today.

    Hey, that`s interesting! I wasn`t using it back then (gee, sorta surprising, huh?), never saw the roller ball. I bet that cost a bundle compared to a little bit of foam and the central plunger that they use now. Sorta doubt that I`d like it as well..sounds harder to transfer to my (actual) application medium.

    I found it would put the product down easier than the foam thing we have today, but it did put product down pretty think. I would apply short lines of product around the desired area and then simply use a rag to spread it around evenly.

    Thanks for that, I`m going to call them and see why no reference to the much larger auto market...
