Re: IML: soaking rubber in vinegar

When I built my 300H about 5 years ago, I soaked my original windshield and back glass rubber in GoJo waterless hand cleaner. They are still soft today.

I was going to say that there is almost certainly something newer and better than vinegar or vaseline for softening and preservation of rubber.

I have no specific suggestions though.

Leatherique rejuvenator oil is the answer.  In addition to working on leather, it rehydrates and softens just about any organic compound.  Do this to your rubber door seals, too.  You won't be sorry.
