Door seals squeaking

Hi guys, I notice my door seals are squeaking a bit now that the temps have dropped. What do you guys suggest to condition the door seals and keep them from squeaking?

WD-40 in the hinges.

Thank you but its not the door hinges. The sound is coming from the rubber seals I think.

I had some squeal from the rubber seals after clay barring and sealing. Just bring it to the dealer and tell them about it. They will add some "special" lubricant. Made my squeal go away

That's funny! Squeaks in the rubber seals? Didn't think rubber made noise like that. I'll have to pay attention to my car tomorrow and so on.

That special lube must be that light colored goo that came on the car in the seals area that oozes out from time to time. doesn't seem to get in my way much though.

I have seen Einszett Gummi Pflege Stift Rubber Care Stick mentioned on detailing forums to solve your problem. According to the description it should do the job. I have never used it so I cannot tell you if it works!
