I was cleaning my car today and noticed that the rubber seals around the windows and doors are looking a bit dry and have some small cracks starting. I know this is from the constant sun and heat, and probably the sand doesn't help either. I'm trying to learn more about shielding your vehicle from harsh climate effects because I want to stop this from getting worse and prevent leaks or wind noise later. Is there a specific product that's good for conditioning rubber and bringing it back to life? Also, are there any areas that people often forget to protect, like the rubber around the sunroof or the windshield wiper blades? I'm thinking I need to add this to my regular maintenance routine. What's worked for others to keep rubber components flexible and healthy despite our extreme weather? Any product recommendations or application tips would be really appreciated.
