What is available that i can use to restore the rubbers/weather stripping around my t-tops/windows to a decent seal and shine??

 

mothers back to black you can get it any auto parts store in the detailing section

 

a tube of Sil-Glyde or any dielectric silicone grease will do the trick.

 

I second the Back To Black product.

 

303, nothing else.

No other product that I'm aware of is actually literally absorbed into the rubber and restores its natural properties.

Most of the silicone-based products on the market are nothing more than a layer of gel that sits on top of the rubber making it appear black and wet, but it will slowly fade back and even be covered in a thin layer of sticky brown/black residual from the silicone.

 

I use a good interior dressing and that seems to work well.

 

Zymol makes a product just for weatherstrips that helps keep them soft and pliable but it is really hard to find. The only place i've ever seen it is the Rocky Mountain Motorsports catalog.
