Arrow t-tops

Since i'm going post crazy, what do you people do to make sure your t-top seals stay nice? I don't want mine to dry out, is their a lube or polish or something for them?

You're supposed to wipe them down with dielectric silicone grease, one of these days I need to get some.

I usually use just regular silicone spray in a bottle. I spray it on a rag and spread it on. Sometimes I just spray it right on the weatherstripping. It works for me. My dad told me to use vasoline, but I started using the spray and now I changed his mind. And the Dielectric grease is suppose to be used on electrical connections. I'm not sure it offers the type of moisturizing the weatherstripping needs.

Thats a good question, I'm not sure. It might be ok, but it might not moisturize the weatherstripping as well as other chemicals are designed to.

Go for the spray silicone oil. I've used that for my weatherstripping on 5 different cars in the last 5 years with good results.

I'd stay away from Armor All on weatherstripping.
