Rubber lubrication

[glennk]

I'm getting squeaking from the door seals and moonroof gasket. I've read multiple posts on this, with solutions all over the place. WD-40, Silicone, water based sealants, etc. What does Hyundai recommend? And, do they have a product to be specifically to be used?

I would not use wd40 or any oil product as that can damage the rubber. The shin-etsu grease is the best I've used in 30+ years of messing with cars:

What about DuPont Krytox 205 or Gummi Pflege Stift?

Gummi Pflege Stift, best product bar none. https://www.amazon.com/nextzett-91480615-Gummi-Pflege-Rubber/dp/B004B8GTQG

Silicone spray lubricates and protects the rubber. Been using it successfully for decades

I have been using this on all my rubber, tires and exterior plastic trim. It doesn't last long on the tires but I like how it isn't greasy and doesn't leave a film. And at $20 a gallon its a good deal. It also works really well on the plastic mud guards and trim under the rear bumper and engine bay. It will bring the color back looking dark and new. I do also use spray silicone on the rubber door seals on my cars before every winter. It works great on the seals but its a pain in the ass to keep it from getting on other surfaces so I use it sparingly.

I guess you could use all the fancy stuff in the world but simple spray silicone on a rag and wiped on the seal will do the trick. Dealers from as far back as the 60's have been doing this for customers who complain about squeaks in seals and windows.

I found that silicone spray works but only lasts a few months. I used this stuff and it lasts lots longer if not forever. Wiped it on with a paper towel.

Plus it's OK for underwater use!
