I was always told to rub silicon spray on it. It's very important. I wasn't consistant with do it on my minivan and the seals are deteriorating quickly. I'd have them replaced if the vehicle wasn't so old.

I saw GM recommends silicone grease like the dielectric grease you use on spark plug wires.
I'm trying Aerospace 303 on this car. Wish I took some before pics of the rubber weather stripping. Looks really good and not greasy or like its going to drip down the paint in the rain like some other products. It is supposed to be one of the better products for actually protecting too. Will see how it lasts.
The 303 looks good in the interior too. Gives a little gloss and not wet or greasy. Works well on smoother surfaces as well, typically problem areas with stuff like Formula2001 on past cars.
I found it by seeing recommendations on various forums when I was looking for something that would hold up well on exterior plastics. So far so good there too - but it has only been a few days I have owned the HHR
