Shin Etsu Silicone Grease How to Correctly Apply to Door Weather Stripping and Seals

[@See6H12O6]

Thanks, I did mine on my 2022 Pilot last year, it's a PITA, takes about 2 hours to do a clean and accurate job on all doors and hatch / sunroof. Some areas on the doors don't close seal to seal, some will touch the car paint, just gently wipe off excess (why, because someone will touch there clothes on it eventually and get your seats shin-etsu-ed.), too much and it will get nasty, esp. during pollen season, let alone dirt in the air sticking to it. Also great for lubricating the liftgate struts on the motorized hatch, mine developed a squeak within a year and a very very thin layer of this got rid of it. Would never use bare hands with this stuff, no telling what chemical in there may get through the skin barrier, and gloves are cheap, healthcare is not.

Thanks for the video, I just bought one tube and wondering how much do I apply, btw how long would you reapply this? every year?

[@InsideBigJaysGarage]

I’m doing every 6 months right now. Spring and fall when I wax the cars going into and coming out of winter. It seems to be going well. Good luck.

I use this every 6 months on my Thunderbird t-top seals. It is near-impossible to find those seals, so I try to take care of them. I discovered this product from a Porsche restoration website, and I’m very impressed. I also use it on the rest of the weatherstripping of course. Like Big Jay, I also use rubber gloves. Good product.

Shin jelly. Like Cotton Hill mentions in the animated series King of the Hill. 😂😂 left his shins on Iwo Jima fighting the Tojo's so we could enjoy our liberties and freedom. He has to apply this balm to his legs (or what's left of them) and he calls it "shin jelly." 😂😂 Shin Etsu made me think of that

Great video. Do you know if this grease can be used on swimming pool rubber o rings.

[@InsideBigJaysGarage]

I use it on mine!

@@InsideBigJaysGarage Thank you

Thank you for the video. Can this be applied to the exterior rubber trims? Like the roof molding trim and the car window weatherstrips??

[@InsideBigJaysGarage]

Yes, absolutely
