Default Convertable top
I have a 92 convertable. I had to replace the molding that goes around the windshield. GM doesnt make the original anymore, so it is aftermarket. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to stop the top from sticking to the molding after the car sits for a while? I have tried vaseline, oil, grease, etc. Needless to say I'm getting ready to replace it again for the third time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Try ArmorAll. I have used it to prevent a car door from freezing shut in the winter, and like to coat rubber weather stripes to keep them pliable.

Mark, you also might try a light coating of a grease that contains PTFE.
