drivers window seal on top of the door

[jonbentley]

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

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.
