Default Need rec on window/door rubber treatments

Hi. Just started replacing some door and window seals. Does anyone recommend a particular product to extend and rejuvenate these rubber parts.

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to XK8/XKR forum. Window seals are a known issue on your model.

I have a tube of SilGlide that probably dates back to the mid-1990s. I use it very sparingly and it still holds up after 20 years or so....

Thanks all. Gummi Pflege Rubber Care Stick 100ml Had great reviews on eBay so placed the order. It is from a US based vendor.

BTW fellow members, don't overlook what seems to be a trivial issue. Each of the top rubber seals above the driver and passenger windows cost $132.00 and there are 2 pairs more associated which cost a LOT more. Just a heads up.

Default 2002 XK8 door rubber

Can anyone tell me where to order the rubber seal that is over the driver's side window. The one on my wife's car has split in several places.

Thank you in advance.

Jamie
