My weatherstrip is about three years old and has held up pretty good but now little pieces are tearing off and sticking to the door glass. Is this from cheap weatherstrip? I have used silicone to help but doesn't really make a difference.

use baby powder on the rubber, they also make a dry lube that does the same thing

Is that normal though?? It's a good idea but don't think you should have to do that. Maybe it's the quality of the rubber but in the mean time I will do that. Thanks.

Coat all your weatherstrips, your interior parts, even tires! with a polymer protectant like Meguiar's protectant for plastics or Nu-Vinyl. It goes on dry, doesn't peel or yellow, blocks UV rays (one of the 'killers' for plastic surfaces which regularly see sunshine), and dries quickly to a nice satin shine. Absolutely the best "appearance maintenance" product I've found----EVER.

It's great on weatherstips, as it seals the surface and helps to prevent degradation of 'plastic' products.

OK great!
