Just curious what products people have used to lubricate the weather stripping on their vipers. I would hate to grab a product that accidentally melted stuff

I've always used Armor All on my cars. Seems like it doesn't hurt, not sure how much it helps. I have a car that I replaced the weatherstripping on 16 years ago and it still looks new but the car is garaged mostly. I think the most important thing is not to expose it to sunlight for long lengths of time.

I use the 303 Aerospace Protectant and have for years on various vehicles.

303 Aerospace Protectant is a very good product. I've been using 303 for years.

303 is good. I've also had success with Black Wow and Chemical Guys Bare Bones.

303 Aerospace Protectant is water based. I use it and it works very well. Also great for tires. Nice matte finish that protects the rubber. It's commonly used on boats. Not familiar with the other products mentioned.

If it's epdm it doesn't need anything and any kind of solvent based product will hurt it

Adams VRT or Megs 40. Both good products I use on the Ram and Viper: weatherstripping, plastic, tires, etc.
