Rubber ages, sometimes the window run rubbers bend, when inspecting my seals I notice the rear passenger side window rubber is bent, so I shall be getting a new one.

I'll try thar first and see how it works, you might want to have a good look at all your seals and rubbers.

Yeah most people never maintain all those seals. I treat mine with that grease every 6 months or so.

I'm glad you mentioned that, I was wondering about the frequency.

Interesting that the reviews on Amazon for that "Super Goo" all mention Honda and Acura - I never knew they had issues with trim. I realize the Goo is Honda OEM but people who buy on Amazon own many different brands.

Many posters here have had success with it, myself included. Its not so much about this product, its just treating the seals with some sort of protectant to keep them soft over time. You can do it with this or other similar type products. The seals dry out and don't seal right and you get noise as the car ages.

Another product that is good for rubber parts under ht hood and chassis is ATP AT-205. Put it in a spray bottle and hit the tops of shock struts, hoses and seals that are close to glass. It helps remoisturize and swell them back to size as well as lubricate. So glad you've succeeded.
As far as the smart *** comments made by others, leave that stuff to the professional comedians and high schoolers. A help forum isn't the place. It'll help you grow up, gain respect, get ahead at work and with your dating life.
