Dry, Cracked Seals ;(

Hey everyone,

I noticed that a lot of the rubber seals on my car are cracking, or at least they are very dry and look like they are about to crack. Is this a common problem on the 8s? I try to keep my car out of the sun as much as I can.. The worst seal is probably on my sunroof.. I noticed that when it was open a few days ago and I was outside the car, that the inner seal is extremely dry..

Is there anythign I can put on them to keep them from drying out even more?

thanks for reading.

Rub some silicone grease into the seals.
