sticking trunk lid

[fomocoloco]

My trunk lid sticks closed. That is, the weather stripping sticks to itself. what could I clean/lubricate the seal, w/no damage?

Try baby powder. We used to use it at the Ford dealership to fix that problem on some of the newer cars.

Spray silicone. I bet DOT 5 brake fluid would also work.

Never, EVER! Silicone! If you ever have a repaint in mind silicone is a guarantee for bubbles and fisheyes.

Talc or Vaseline but not both.

Don't use Vaseline on rubber. It causes the rubber to break down.
