Any Honda dealership can order it for you (what I did shortly after purchasing the car 7 years ago)... mine took 3-4 days to come in. I think I paid around $13 for it. Remind me and I'll look up the part #, should make their ordering job easy as pie.

 

and what do you use this stuff for

 

Moisturizes all your seals- around the windows, windshield frame/softtop seal, etc. Very important to do.

bcohan- if you need some immediately, I'm sure Mike Loving has some. It takes so very little to do a whole car. I'm on the same tube since I got my hardtop in March '04.

 

thats where i got mine!

 

Part Number: 08798-9013

I paid $11.xx with tax for it (employee discount). Retail they are going for around $23 at the dealership I work for.

 

damn i havent done this to my car yet.... i guess i need to pick some of this up too. do you just apply a dab here and there and then rub in?

 

Maybe a good idea would be one person buy a tube, then people pitch in $2-3 at the next tech meet to use it. You will NEVER use this tube up one one car, even if you lube things up every year (totally unnecessary). Figure one doing it every 3 years or so... I did mine after 2 years, haven't done it since and the seals are still quite supple (7-yo car). Probably do it again this year.

 

My seals were already assed when I bought the car. I did the Shin-Etsu anyway but think they're all too far gone. Damn the previous owner!!! DAMN HIM!!
