Okay,
First, let me say I have not done this personally but I tucked it away expecting to try it. Let me know how it works. I have a 74 to work on and coincidentially enought the tip was for a 73.
Second, I want to give credit to who posted it. I don't know Penny but 'ED' replied it was a good idea. I like it wasn't adding a petroleum like noted so in theory it shouldn't hurt the seal
Installing a New Windshield
Our Tech Tip this week is from Penny Ploughman.
After struggling with the soapy water method for easing the install of a new windshield to body seal on my 1973 MGB, I decided to try an all-vegetable cooking spray (in this case Mazola) and the seal slid right in! Remember never use a petroleum based product on rubber seals -- it makes them swell and deteriorate.
Ed. note: I also have used this a few times in the past when doing the rubber on side curtains and it really does work well.
