Default Weather stripping

I went to the dealership today to get some rubberstrip treatment and they didn t have any and wouldn t order it so I went to autozone and they didn t have any and looked at me like I was nuts when I asked for rubber cleaner and treatment for auto weatherstripping. Then went to Wally world and they had nothing. Where do I find a good product for my Vette ?

Try a local body shop. They should have something that would work. I use a natural silicone lubricant made by Rubber Seal on mine.

All the usual catalogs claim to have everything. Gene at Partshouse does have it!
