Yes, veg oil oxidizes into a hard goo, but many rubber compounds 
react adversely to petroleum products. I would avoid both on the 
window seals. 

Things to avoid for storage are heat and ozone. Most anything you put 
on it for protection are likely to be cosmetic only, but a good 
silicone spray might be good protection.
