So Im currently working on the resto of my doors.
I pulled off the "wing" window seals and am cleaning them
from reinstallation (still in fine shape).
here's the question I notice that they have a film of like wax
in all the compression ridges.
Is this a factory installation trick or what?

every OEM german rubber seal I have ever seen(VW, Audi, Porsche) has whitish waxy substance on them, I always assumed it was some sort of protectant, sort of like that thick oily stuff you see on steel parts to keep them from rusty in shipment.

I always thought it was mold release from when they make the rubber.
