Just picked up an old beige bready for a few coppers!

It's been sat outdoors for 6 years, all the rubber around the windows is dry but not rock solid.

I was wondering what cheeky tricks people know to moisturise the rubber? No cracks yet and I don't want any either!

Cheers

You could try Vaseline, but I don't think there is a rubber moisturiser

Try boiled linseed oil. Does it for my 1991 coupe. Don't leave on long. Brush thin layer on and wipe off soon after.

Before winter, I wipe over my door seals with a viscose silicone substance to prevent the doors freezing to the seals.

This stuff is used by plumbers for lubricating push-fit waste pipe fittings before assembly.

It may well answer your problem -

Available from plumbers merchants (got mine from Wicks)

give em a good scrub with a nail brush and warm soapy water before trying any treatment , they get like a dead layer on top that scrubs off

Seen this stuff used on a Hillman Avenger window rubber.

Cheers guys

If you're going to use a silicone based treatment as suggested above hope you don't have to repaint that area
