Can anyone recommend a good vinyl rubber preserver? Apparently, the stuff that I used to use is no longer available.

Thank you for your recommendations. I very much appreciate it. Krytox is some pretty pricy stuff. I'm sure it must great.For weatherstripping? DuPont's Krytox is one of THE best. GM even used to sell it under their brand. Of course at higher prices. They used GPL105 version. Kind of a liquid, but they make GPL205 that's a little more viscous and needs a bit more work to spread, but either works fine. $$$$$ Be prepared to dig deep. Very pricey but NO SILICONE. Tiny bit goes a long way, though. Thank goodness because it's pretty pricey. This stuff BONDS with the weatherstripping and it even holds up to radiation.
303 rubber seal protectant is great too. Much cheaper than Krytox.
Thank you, Mich,Jack, try 303 protectant. Ive been using it for years. Good stuff.

Sometimes. Some silicone based lubes/dressings use petroleum distillates, and that is hard on rubber bits. If you know for sure the stuff is like 100% silicone grease for example, you may be ok. I don't like that crap because some of it gets all over the place and if not done right, it can get messy.is there a downside to lubes with silicone in it?

For some, this is more of a religion than science as it's like the question of "what's the best wax/gas/oil, etc. ?" But that's just something to consider when dealing with products not necessarily used for what they were originally intended.
For any budget concerns, the 303 rubber seal stuff is hard to beat, though. JMO.
