What type of grease should I get to put on the rubber seals on the soft top and front window frame?

Greenlight

3M makes a weatherstrip adhesive.

I think the part number is 8001 for the black adhesive and 8003 for the yellow adhesive.

if you want something to keep the ruber soft there is a real good product that BMW used to sell. BMW no longer sells this due to lack of interest and no one knows about it aside from BMW.

gummie pflege, it's a real good product i have been using it on a 1998 BMW Z3 M roadster, and currently 03 Boxter S, and now it's going to be applied on the S2k as well.

it's a great product it preserves the rubber and prevents it from cracking or tears. i use it on every rubber seal on the car including, doors, trunk liners, roof etc.

you can buy some here

or visit your local BMW dealer and see if they still have a couple of tubes left. I used to pick it up locally from the BMW dealer but BMW NA is nolonger brining them in.

GREASE! NOT "adhesive".

You have a number of choices.
1. The Honda prescribed "Shin-etsu" grease. Quite expensive but lasts a long time.
2. Any silicone grease sold by any car manufacturer meant for window seals. I use GM Silicone Emulsion. Comes with it's own shoe polish type applicator.
3. If you are cheap or have no time to get the first 2, spray rubber safe silicone spray onto a cloth and wipe them down. The bonus to this is you can also use it to treat all the rubber boots under your car to keep the components they protect, safe. The negative to using this on the window seals, is that it doesn't soak in as well and you have to do it more often.

What about vaseline?

SenderGreen

Petroleum jelly will destroy rubber. Vaseline is no good. Silicone based only. Also is if use a silicone spray, test it by spraying a little into a styrofoam cup. If the styrofoam cup melts, then the carrier agent in the spray is bad for rubber, find another product.

How can you say this? People used to use PJ all the time with their unlubed condoms. Trouble was ............... 9 months later, they had babies.
