Question Maintaining T-Top rubber???

The rubber around my ttops is dull as crap & a shade of brown in a few spots. How can I bring it back to life??

Silicone Spray. It's in a can, and u can get it just about anywhere. Just get a clean sponge and spray it on good on one corner of the sponge. And then just make one complete swipe, making sure to NOT get it on ur paint, around ur rubber seal.

I use the Zaino Z-16 tire gloss, works great on rubber and weather striping.

Thumbs up

another vote for silcone spray. I do it when I do a full detail on the car, and twice a winter. The rubber looks like new, and has no cracks or wear marks. And it still seals to my top like glue.
