What oil should be used to maintain car sunroof rubber seals?
1 Answers
The details are as follows: 1. Vaseline: Many car enthusiasts and even automotive reviewers recommend using white Vaseline to maintain door seals (but it should not be used on sunroof seals), claiming it is the simplest and most effective maintenance method. However, there are concerns that Vaseline can dissolve rubber—for example, condoms strictly prohibit the use of Vaseline as a lubricant. In the short term, Vaseline may soften the seals, but over time, it can cause them to harden and shorten their lifespan. 2. Dimethyl silicone oil (silicone): Dimethyl silicone oil is an excellent rubber conditioner, commonly used for professional medical equipment, slingshots, and high-pressure air pumps.
