Don’t know if it’s been mentioned before but as an owner of a convertible sports car and Motorhome….I’ve just been ‘feeding’ the rubber seals on the car to hopefully stop leaks in the future, and thought eh oh ….what about the seals around the windows etc on the Motorhome. Rubber is a natural product and dries out with time , hence seals cracking , going hard etc. So I’ve just gone round various seals on the Adria ….gummi phledge, is the product I use but there are various different ones out there. DONT USE silicone spray!!

Why not use silicone spray 🤔
There's nothing wrong with using silicone on rubber in a direct U.V. environment, the worries are all a myth. Many top end tyre dressings and conditioners are made with silicone oil. Silicone is inert and has no detrimental effect on rubber. The problem arises when a silicone product is formulated with a distillate as it's the distillate which is harmful as its a solvent.

If you have Thetford's seal spray that's more than capable of keeping your window rubbers in excellent condition.
