hard top lube

ezrider · 04-26-2022, 04:11 PM

What kind of lube is used on the retractable hardtop rubber seals. I was thinking silicone. I wasn't able to find it in the manuel.

Wurth Gummipflege is good stuff but it's hard to find in the US. I've had good luck with Griot's Vinyl & Rubber Dressing. https://www.griotsgarage.com/vinyl-rubber-dressing/

Don't try to spray directly onto the rubber. Spray it on a sponge and then apply it. Let it dry before closing things up.

Same. Its easy to get on amazon. Also good for door and window deals, around sunroofs. Hell i even use it on the seams of my trucks tonneau cover.

Can't go wrong with the 303 Automotive Protectant. Easily found in the States and no overpaying for German equivalent products.
