Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I use a Wurth Silicone aerosol - spray a little on a clean cloth, and wipe it on the back of the seal.

Suggestion
I find that keeping the back of the seal clean (the bit in contact with the glass), and then applying a very thin wipe of silicone lubricant helps.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Everytime I lower the drivers window down, the rubber that runs along the top of the door curls inwards, and i guess sooner or later it will crack and fall off! Tried cleaning it and drying it etc. Anyone any ideas what i can put on the seal it to lube it? (apart from all the obvious answers) and i'd like somthing that isnt going to leave embarassing stains up the window when I close it again thanks Jon

POST 2Original post

Mine does it when it is hot, but not in this cold weather. I find that keeping the back of the seal clean (the bit in contact with the glass), and then applying a very thin wipe of silicone lubricant helps. I use a Wurth Silicone aerosol - spray a little on a clean cloth, and wipe it on the back of the seal. Take care not to overdo it, or it does smear onto the window.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks, Ray on piston heads has suggested that as well. ive kept it clean, wondering if thats the problem - leave if mucky and green and no problems ? cheers Jon
