Baby oil on the door seals is fine. I use petroleum jelly. Only put a thin film on the rubber. This will reduce the chance of water soaking into the pours of the rubber and then tearing the seal when you try to open the frozen door.

i have never heard that before but it may work. with wipers when ever i clean off the car i will wipe the "blade" part so its clean but usually they cant freeze bad enough. as long as you make sure theres not pieces of snow and water and ice on door seal you shouldn't need baby oil

dont put baby oil on your wipers. it will only smear your windshield up.one thing for the wipers i use to do, dont dip any more, but id moisten my snuff up and smear it on the blade and window. when the ice melts it will wash it off and no stuck wipers. i also live in texas so mabey not as severte as in you area. try wd40 on the doors as it repels water!

door seals good. wiper blades bad as it will leave oil on windshield. I suggest rain x or equal. as it is a wax not oil.

It works but dont put an excessive amount on windshield wipers. Dont want that stuff on your windshield.
