Door seals

What do you guys recommend putting on the door and t-top seals to keep they from drying out and cracking? Do they make something special for this? I have some grease that is supposed to be used on o-rings, would this work? I’d like to put something on them before they become dry and brittle.

Re: Door seals

Never use a petrolium based product on rubber. It makes it rot. Use spray silicone, it will keep them soft and in great condition.
