your better stocked parts stores will have a quality alternative at a much more reasonable price.
$53 dollars for what?

I don't know about the specific product your dealer was trying to sell you but last year I went to the BMW dealer to get a tube of their weatherstrip conditioner, which I'd heard was supposed to be especially good. They wanted $65 so I backtracked and bought the dialectric grease for $10.

This is By far the best goopy stuff I have ever used on rubber seals and thing for a Vert, and a lot less than $53.00.

If you work in an office, keep your eye out for the copier maintenance person. They have a silicone grease (clear) that works like a charm on weather seals. The guy who did the maintenance on the machine in my office told me they have more of that grease than they know what to do with and was happy to give me a tube.
