Vaseline on rubber door seals.
This would include vaseline.
Would a good smear of vaseline on the rubber seals help.
And then close the door and be amazed.
Seriously i doubted this would work.
This will help prevent doors from freezing shut and help prolong the life of expensive door seals.
Ok something i ve noticed when it s freezing cold in the morning the rubber door seals seem to freeze to the metal door frame i assume moisture gets trapped and freezes.
Apply a thin layer to the rubber gaskets around your car doors.
The vaseline won t repair damage such as cracks or tears.
While vaseline and other petroleum products may degrade real rubber actually made from the rubber tree current o rings technology does not use natural rubber.
Simply rub the vaseline over the rubber gasket where it seals to the fridge or freezer.
But it has been close to four months since i tried the experiment and the freezer is still frost free.
For preventative measures some manufacturers recommend applying silicone spray around the rubber door and trunk seals to prevent this problem.
