Keeping the sun and elements off the weatherstripping will greatly improve its longevity.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Cleaning:<\/strong> Taking a wet cloth and wiping down the weatherstripping to keep dust and dirt off helps. When dirt and water collect, this can cause the weatherstripping to fail prematurely.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>DON&#8217;T:<\/strong> Do not use any sort of chemicals, lubricants, preservatives, or softeners on them. Modern weatherstripping is made out of new materials that don&#8217;t require these and they could possibly harm the rubber.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-853f202 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"853f202\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cf21cdc\" data-id=\"cf21cdc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-89ca118 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"89ca118\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Do you need new weatherstripping for your classic Chevy?
