This will help prevent doors from freezing shut and help prolong the life of expensive door seals.
Vaseline on rubber door seals.
While vaseline and other petroleum products may degrade real rubber actually made from the rubber tree current o rings technology does not use natural rubber.
This would include vaseline.
But it has been close to four months since i tried the experiment and the freezer is still frost free.
For preventative measures some manufacturers recommend applying silicone spray around the rubber door and trunk seals to prevent this problem.
Apply a thin layer to the rubber gaskets around your car doors.
And then close the door and be amazed.
Would a good smear of vaseline on the rubber seals help.
The parker o ring handbook states.
I tried a spray of wd40 wiped round on a cloth but doesn t seem to have helped.
The vaseline won t repair damage such as cracks or tears.
Ok something i ve noticed when it s freezing cold in the morning the rubber door seals seem to freeze to the metal door frame i assume moisture gets trapped and freezes.
Seriously i doubted this would work.
