Simix is the answer. I've used it on my weatherstripping and it not
only rejuvenated it but has prevented it from getting mold and mildew on it
anymore. First you have to get it really clean-I used
the Surface Restorer because I bought it to also prepare the body
panels for the Simix. I'm sure other cleaners will work just as
well. I wrote a few posts about this wonderful product (Simix) a
while back. Check with Color-Plus in PA. http://www.colorplus.com/
The owner, Joanne Price, has it and is discounting it a little more now
than when I originally bought it. While you're speaking with Joanne,
ask her about her wonderful leather care products, including dyes,
softeners, repair products (Flexfill), etc. I wouldn't use anyone
else.

I was going to say that there is almost certainly something newer and
better than vinegar or vaseline for softening and preservation of rubber.
I have no specific suggestions though. ----- Original Message

Leatherique rejuvenator oil is the answer. In addition to
working on leather, it rehydrates and softens just about any organic
compound. Do this to your rubber door seals, too. You won't be
sorry.
