In 2001, I bought rear window gaskets from Steele for my panel truck and while taping them for a repaint (yes, I took all that advice and am keeping the truck) I noticed that they had started to crack in the corner bends. I sure would like to try to restore the rubber but there are so many products on the shelves I'm not sure where to spend my $. Suggestions as to something that works? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 399 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 399 | Sorry, but I would buy some new stuff..Other than that, soak them in some brake fluid and leave them alone for awhile..good luck, Steve | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 314 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2005 Posts: 314 | Good old Zippo Lighter fluid might also work. It contains Naptha which causes rubber to swell. Once it swells then the brake fluid will help to preserve it.
BTW, I use Zippo fluid to clean and condition my wiper blades. Regular use can extend their life X 3. | | |
