    WD40 works good for doing interior vinyl... works well on rubber stuff too

      Actually, WD40 is not the best choice. Best choice is aerosol silicon. WD40 is made for dissolving rust, and working with metal. Silicon is made for everything, but coats stuff better than wd40 or CRC oil. As for the inside vinyl, vinyl has chemicals contained within the molded polymer that keep it supple and flexible. Use something specifically designed to replace those oils that are evaporated off by sunlight and heat (i.e. armorall). Rubbers are chemically simpler than plastics, and dont require the same chemical upkeep, although they do require upkeep. Armorall for vinyl, silicon for rubber. And do yourself a favor. Do the T-top seals, the door seals, the hatch seals, and the seal at the base of the windshield near the hood and airconditioning vents. Also, the silicon looks good on the plastic components of the airbox, baffles, and rubber hosing of the induction system.

          good call firechicken...
          petroleum based products may also speed the deterioration of some rubber compounds.
          this is true for rubber suspension components as well. if you are diagnosing a squeaky bushing always use silicone-based spray lubricant, not a petrol based lubricant like wd40.
