i have just ordered some door rubbers and a tin of rubber magic spray for my lj.

Rarespares just got back to me and said that they can't send the spray as it is dangerous goods. 

Is this spray really necessary or is there another product that will do the same job and i could source locally.

The nearest rares store is 900 klm away.

cheers Rodney

Yeah RR are real enthusiast guys, telling you what to use when their "product" is not available (even if they are the forum sponsors... )

 

 

Soapy water in a spray bottle???

Thin smear of kero/baby oil/vaso?

 

Canola spray?

Is it really necessary???

Doubt it.
Never needed anything to fit body rubbers.

Soapy water
and yes you need it

Try fitting them without any slippery stuff

Kingswood Country sent me a can of it for nothing no worries.

what is the purpose of this spray ,is it to help in the fitting of the rubbers,or does it condition the rubber or both

Rubber Magic is silicone based (AFAIK) and is supposed to penetrate and soften the rubber.

 

I didn't need to use any Rubber Magic on my new Rare Spares 2012 vintage RH LJ 2 door seal, however I used a whole can of the stuff on the hard to close1996 vintage door seal and it made bugger all difference.

ok ,hopefully the new door seals won't  need this spray,i guess the spray may be a carry over from the old seals.

if i have any issues i will try a can of silicone  spray. thanks for the advice fellas
