Re: Windscreen Gasket

[Douglas Braun & Nadia Papakonstantinou <dougbert@rcn.com>]

The windshield gasket seems to be made from some neoprene-like
rubber, certainly not latex!

Consider the rubber gasket on an oil filter.  That
doesn't seem to be harmed by contact with hot oil!
So I doubt that Vaseline would harm the gasket, but
it would stay slippery for too long after you are done installing
it.  You want something that sort of dries up or gets washed off
after the installation is done.
