My rubber inner door seals, insert around roof cutouts have discolored to gray.

Rest of rubber around lower doors jambs, sills, pillars is still black and perfect


Whats the best product to recondition these?

Use Ford rubber seal conditioner?

303 or 1Z einszett 'Gummi' Pflege ?

303 without a doubt. Use it once a year and the rubber will outlast the rest of the car.
 
Take care of them. They are one piece with the windshield rubber. $450. Per side.
 
Spent about two hours cleaning all the rubber door seals; with hot water and microfiber rag. You have to go around perimeter and get finger tip under lip.

After 3 buckets of black water from oil, soot, sand, dirt they cleaned up nice.

I applied the 303 Rubber Seal conditioner and it improved the color and flexibility; more dark gray.

Gray spotting still there; will reapply in a month.

I wanted to stay away from the "Black restore" type rubber conditioners which contain black dye.


High recommend this clean up as door jambs get alot of grime trapped.
