Never heard of that one. Wouldn't it be easier to just replace the seals?

I've seen guys use backer rod ( used when chauking ) in there work trucks when they tear there seals. They just take take there seal off and insert the backer rod . You can get it in different sizes !/4" 3/8" !/2" 5/8" etc.

Well the seals arent all that tight I think its the backer rod, but I was reading silicone somewhere, it will help with door vubrations too!

The backer rod purpose is to keep the seal tight, and the silicone is to just to keep them plyable .

seals

Do you need seals or are you just wanting to make them better? I would think the seals from a dealer wouldnt be that bad on the $$$$ but, it is the dealer. I have also needed one for a car I rebuilt and I went to a salvage yeard and bought the rear seals out of the rear door of some ford vans (I was building a taurus) and then just cut them down... Just an idea.
