it is for the rubber seals on the doors/top. it prevents the rubber from drying and cracking. the silicone also repels water, helping to prevent leaks.

If the seller left a tube of Shin-Etsu grease with the car, you're lucky. That means that he was maintaining his car.

That stuff isn't exactly cheap, and it does a great job at preserving all rubber on your car, especially in the door jambs and trunk.

The best use for this grease is for the seals on a hardtop. Without silicone grease, the rubber seals squeak as the car flexes.

It's also an effective sexual lubricant.












J/k of course. You can get it from the dealership or from http://www.handa-accessories.com

Well, did she dry and crack? What about sqeaks when she flexes?

If the answer is no, then perhaps this Shin-Etsu did it's job, just not in the lubricating department.
