Getting my outer door seals back in shape

Decided to get my door seals cleaned up thanks to this TX sun.
1) Tape off the seal.
2) spray with soap and water.
3) scrub from side to side with #0000 fine steel wool.
4) repeat as nessisary.
5) clean and let dry.
6) then go over with mothers back to black.

 

Cool. Mine are looking rough as well.

 

Bet this doesn't last.... maybe a month tops. Texas heat kills everything.

 

Hmmm, I like that. Thanks or sharing. May have to add that to the to do list.

 

Rubbing alcohol and Optibond will do wonders to worn trim

 

I would put a layer of sealant for rubber and plastic. I've used ammo sealant on my wife's car and truck and it last for 3 months before it gets dirty again

 

My back window seal is llooking like shit. Maybe I'll give this a go. Also in the Texas sun.

 

If you wanted to just replace it, is that a dealer item or can you get acceptable aftermarket? My search results have been up in the air on this.

 

Mine looked bad too, but it looked like it actually had some mold growing on it. I used some Soft Scrub and a toothbrush to clean it and it helped a lot.

 

paint with bedliner.
