Vaseline on the door seals - when is it worth it?

Title says it all

Expound your bountiful knowledge upon me

Only when they're leaking, surely?


I know it works for leaky sunroofs.

 

[miniyazz]

Hmm, I'll be doing that for my sunroof then

I was more thinking with regards to cold weather - is it a good idea to grease up the seals if there's frost and the doors are sticking?

It's never worth it as Vaseline rots rubber.

Use a water based lubricant, not Vaseline as it will dissolve the polymers in rubber. It also applies for "rubbers" if you know what I mean.

Sillicone based grease from anywhere should be ok.

I used some spray stuff from Halfords when my roof started leaking and it's not done it since
