I would advise against doing this, no matter what your dealer said!

If you're in Canada, Canadian Tire stores have a spray lubricant specifically for slide seals... you give the rubber a cleaning first to remove any dirt then spray it on....It foams and then you just wipe off the excess foam and spread it evenly over the rubber...I plan on using it once in the spring and then again in the fall...

Our dealer prep guy said to just use silicone spray.

I use 303 Protectorant, works great.

I use the specific slide seal lube from camping world. It is not that expensive and will last a while (depending on how often you use it) It is a good product IMO.

I would use something called "303 Protectant" available thru Amazon or just about anywhere:

303 Protectant

Or if you want, just use baby powder:

Choose one of the other and stick with that method, imo.

If you're talking about the gears, you SHOULD NOT use WD40 or any other lubricant that attracts dust/dirt.
