Wipe the rubber seal & mating painted surface down with your favorite auto wash to get both good & clean of any spills & this would include the bottom seal where a spill would want to run.
Then spray or wipe the rubber seal with a high quality heavy duty brand name silicone spray product like CRC, Prestone, ect, & let it dry fully/solvents flash off, before closing the doors. It's worked well for me for over 50 years. Let us know how it goes.
