Hi Herbie,
Did you receive the front Timbren rubber helper springs?
This week I had new windshield installed after letting the passenger side crack grow over the last 5 years.
Also, installed new lift struts on rear hatch. OReilly $32 each, made in USA. Nice

doors were freezing shut so I rubbed some brake grease into the door seals. Works great and rejuvenates the rubber too.

Never tried brake grease, I use ArmorAll several times a year on all my weather-strips and never have a freezing, or sticking problem. It was 13 degrees this morning & no problem.

What ever is in it, it seems to work well, or I might just be the lucky one.
ArmorAll typically contains water, PDMS (silicone), diethylene glycol, glycerin, and various additional chemical compounds.[1]
Don't know if it good or bad for the weatherstrips.

yeah the MSDS says 30-40% silicone, a few trace ingredients, and the rest water.
brake grease is silicone. (so is dielectric grease)
diethylene glycol is hydraulic brake fluid.
