I know that I should be lubing the door hinges and weather stripping. Question is...what lube is best for the hinges and what should I be using on the stripping? What about the latch? I have used various lubes to date, but not sure if they are correct applications.

I think weather stripping calls for silicone. White lithium grease for hinges/latches. Use an aersol can. Buy at any parts store.

If you are asking about brand.......? No ideas, there.

Think the owners manual said about silicone for weather stripping.
