I've since used it on all my gaskets and seals in my other cars. I still use the Ford product, just because I wonder if it's better suited for this purpose than other generic cans of silicone lube.

There are several studies comparing true silicone lube to other products containing silicone (such as Armor All). MSDS sheets show the differences. Products such as Armor All, contain other petroleum distillates that can be harmful to rubber.

I'll be keeping an eye on it, not sure if I'll still need new trim or not. I had let it go for a long time getting folded by the window. I am going to the local auto parts store and buying 3m silicone paste. After some research I found that's what's suggested.
Here is a link to exactly what I used. Works great, and looks like I won't have to replace my window rubber molding after all. http://m.napaonline.com/tablet//part...946_0006436593
