as i read it, these are the ingredients of shin etsu grease (someone please correct me if i have the wrong patent):

<<<" Adhesive grease composition comprising a random copolymer of ethylene and an alpha-olefin

An adhesive grease composition comprises a random copolymer of ethylene and an alpha-olefin having the following formula ##STR1## wherein R represents a lower alkyl group, x and y are, respectively, an integer provided that x/y=0.5 to 2.0 and x+y=50 to 150, and a thickening agent in defined amounts.">>>

Be careful with cheap grease, I find Shin-Etsu is FAR superior. Other stuff will dry up.

It would be worth the wait and get it right.

Just order Shin Etsu online. Don't use that can.

I'll just head over to the dealership in Carson City tomorrow and hopefully they'll have some in stock.

Thanks guys.

I went to the Honda dealership and they recc. Pro Honda White Lithium Grease ""heavy duty general purpose lubricant".

It comes in a 12.5 oz. spray can and was something like $5-6 a can.

other data on label
*special solvents allow deep penetration
*sets up quickly to a thick coating
*use on metal hinges, pivots, and sliding mechanisms
*endorsed by Honda racing

UPC code #08732-0005

Having typed all of that I haven't used it yet. I don't see anything on label about use on weatherstripping but it is white lithium grease.

After five + years I have just come to like Shin-Etsu a lot. It's messy, but effective.

The advice you will get here is much better than the typical dealership.

Lithium is one of the greasiest, most anti-drying substances on the planet. White lithium grease lasts A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time, especially if it is not on a moving part. If you cant get shin etsu, WLith grease will work just fine. You can use black as well, but I dont recommend it on the top seals around the windows, because if you brush up against it with a nice freshly dry cleaned shirt, you will be all kinds of angry.

I never heard that before. Why?
