Window rubber lubrication

Do any of you guys with CLK soft top / convertables lubricate the window rubbers. If you do, what product do you use? That movement of the windows when ever the doors are opened or closed seems to be a high friction area.

I use 1z (einzett) Gummi Flege which is a rubber conditoner on all my door seals, you can find it on Amazon. Another trick I learned from having a GM with t-tops is silicone diver grease also works, also on Amazon. Just don't use Vaseline as that will eventually melt your seals.

Tried all the products mentioned in this thread. The OEM one works the best. You can also get it on eBay cheaper in larger quantities without the MB branding.
