Sticking door seals- treatment?

[dekeman]

Hi all,



I have a Mazda Protege that has door seals that like to stick to themselves. Any OTC products that are good for this, or do I need to scour the countryside looking for 303?

Hondas and Acuras like to use Shin-Etsu grease. Others here like Gummi Pfledge. Search for weather seal treatment - I'm sure you'll come up with a few more options.

I use 303 on mine for aesthetic reasons and they never stick. I've also heard that simple baby powder works... but doesn't look as nice.



303 is also great on window trim, dashboards, sunroof trim, etc. You can find it online or in boating accessory stores.

I've read that synthetic Dupont Krytox grease, smeared verrr-rrrry lightly, works extremely well and is spec'd by some manufacturers. You can find it at McMaster-Carr's web site. Expensive, but you can also get good use out of it as an anti-gallant for threaded fasteners.
