Window rubber preservative?

[Jason Renville <Jason_Renville@ccm.al.intel.com>]

I read somewhere (maybe this list)to wipe generous amounts of cooking 
oil on the rubber and let sit for a while.  Then wipe off and try again. 
after doing this a few times the rubber soaks up some of the oil and 
gets softer.  I haven't tried it but it sounds good.  Shouldn't cost 
much to try either.

     What can I use to spray or wipe on the door and window rubber to help
     preserve it? I am sure that Amour All would hurt more than help. How
     about Clear Guard? There must be a penetrating oil or other type of
     liquid that could help keep the window rubber from cracking. Thanks
     for your suggestions.
