Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.
Ron, This may sound silly, but I have always used baby oil on rubber mouldings and even on the dash pad and door panels. If I'm not going to be driving the car for a few days, I even put it on the seats. It also works well on vinyl tops. I just put in on, let it sit awhile and wipe off the excess with a clean cloth. Leaves a great shine too.

Ron, if you're talking about weatherstrip, there is a product called "Krytox"(available from Mid-Am, Ecklers, etc.) that is specifically for that. You can also but the exact same stuff in a different package from your friendly neighborhood GM dealer. 
Some people use a spray type silicon, but I fergits what it's called.

Ron, I use a spray silicon that I get from Pep-Boys. I don't believe it makes any difference who the manufacture is, silicon is silicon as far as I'm concerned. I could be wrong but I've used Toyota's, GM, and Pep-Boys stuff, and they all seem to work. I could be wrong and If you don't want to take a chance, then any of the on line Corvette parts suppliers offer the weatherstrip spray/tube. Good luck

Vette(s): 1979, 350sb, as my kids affectionately call it "shit brown" Corvette purchased in 1996. 84,000+ miles. Not a show car, but I love her just the same.
Your local parts store or hardware store should have cans of Silicone spray. Not expensive and easy to come by.
