Don't dismiss the need to kept the seals moist/pliable. The Shin-Etsu helps the seals to swell thereby making for a better seal. Dave's idea is a cheap band-aid, too.

i got some automotive vaccuum hose for $1, cut it into 2 small bits, put it over both hooks on the striker, and there it is. Went from noisy as heck to the way it should be. Awesome!
