Caring for rubber door and window seals
ꢀ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS
The rubber seals around the doors and windows will stay soft and flexible, seal better and last longer if
the seals are treated regularly with a suitable rubber care product.
Before applying the treatment, use a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt from the rubber seals.
Do not apply any rubber care products to the rubber seals on the body in the areas around the
windows in the driver's and front passenger's doors. The product could run down onto the windows
and smudge them.
