I have read lots of posts here about using silicone grease on the roof seals.

I just wondered.

How do you guys apply it. Is it to all the roof seals whilst roof up or when its retracting stop and apply to seals then before it fully retracts.

Do you also apply it to the seals/gulleys above the windows.

Thanks.

I apply it to all the rubber seals not just the roof. I apply whilst the roof is down first, and then I apply to the the roof seals that I can reach in the boot and all around the boot seal as it gets a bit sticky and split in one place which leaked a bit last Winter. Then I put the roof up and do the rest. I don't tend to stop the roof mid way in case it decides to stick :yikes:

I only started using it at the end of last Summer but it seems to have improved the squeaks and made it that bit more watertight.
