Rubber window trim salvage
« on: 12 March 2010, 06:58 PM »
The interior rubber trim around my windows is starting to crack and show it's age. How could I restore the rubber to reasonable condition... any ideas are welcome. I had great success with the outside rubber trim using mineral oil, but this would obviously cloud up my windows severely with the opening and closing motion.

3M Automotive makes a rubber and vinyl restorer product that works great.  Also, STP Son of a Gun is wonderful as well.
