I've been researching this, but can't find a consistent answer/product. What's the proper product to use for lubricating door seals on my 2018 A4 Premium Plus? Would the sunroof seal be lubricated with the same stuff? Thanks in advance!

This is the stuff... Gummi Phlege; easy to find on line, dealer may have it also.

303 Rubber Seal Protectant works well also; used for years on BMW...

Thanks all and Vincenzo! AoA also confirmed that Gummi Phlege will be good. My car is a 2018 model but has been in service since September 2017 and in super cold and snowy Madison WI until March. I think the seals could use lubrication because when I crack the sunroof, i can hear a slight whistle sound coming from the top area of the driver side door. Could the sunroof be causing some crazy suction that allows air through the seal? Thats my guess at least.
