Frameless door and convertible top seals

[JHZR2]

Given the rubbing that occurs on these seals, should they be dressed regularly with krytox, sil-glyde or equivalent?

Nothing ive seen indicates any necessity.

That said, it sounds like Im getting a rubbing/rattling sound at my window top/convertible top interface... so I have to wonder if I need to lube it a bit.

Recommendations?

Honda recommended yearly applications of their Shin-etsu grease on all the rubber seals in the S2000's convertible top. I did this every spring and fall and it actually did help with some wind noise.

On my Audi I use Einszett Gummi Pflege on all the door gaskets twice a year.

Where do you get this wonderful stuff?

Haven't been able to find Gummi Pflege Stift in any local stores.
I've ordered mine from the "store" on autogeekonline dot net. Along with just a few other items, lol.

Gummi pflege is not the same as it used to be. It is now a liquid in a funny bottle with applicator. Is that what everyone is using????

Yes, it's a liquid and uses a sponge applicator.
