I’ve noticed that after 15 years use, my header seal (HJC7715AD) is started to deteriorate. At the moment it isn’t bad enough to replace - not at over £400 replacement seal it’s not - but at some stage I will have to get it replaced. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to reduce the deterioration?

 

Doug,

As we have extreme sun and heat in the Middle East, I’m trying to keep rubber “alive” on my Jag, using something suggested by Scotty Kilmer. Got the idea from his Youtube video below.

No real long term experience yet if this ATF205 works, but what the heck, worth a shot.

 

Hi David, thanks for the recommendation, but tried Amazon and E-Bay here in the UK but can't get it unless I want to pay double the product price to have it delivered from the US.

 

Simple Silicone spray works just fine on rubber.

 

It was suggested I use 303 Rubber Seal Protectant so I have ordered some in the hope that this will do the job. I will let you know how good it is.
