T-Top Lubricant Rec.
it's time for me to do my regular maintenance on my T-Top and I need a recommendation on what type of lubricant should i use on the rubber seals to keep them moist and prevent their hardening.
thanks boonie.
P.S. What about swimming pool lubrication grease?

Bingo. Use dielectric grease. Coat the rest of the weatherstripping with a good weatherstripping spray.
