Well, the Owner's Manual says to use Silicon Grease to dress the weather-stripping. I use to use Black Magic Silicon gel, but can't seem to find it anymore so I will be picking up some grease soon. I believe you can get it at any auto parts store. I hear that the silicon slightly expands the stripping making the windows fit a little tighter. Good luck!

Not really for cleaning although I am sure it does to some degree but if you have water spots on your stripping like I do (especially the part on the t-top) then use "Turtlewax Bug and Tar and Tree Sap." It worked for me.

Soap and water cleans things.

The Silicone Grease is for lubrication.
