Default Shin-etsu grease

Does anyone use Shin-etsu grease to lubricate the seals in the top? What do y'all use to lubricate the seals with and where do you buy it from?

Do it on a warm day and make sure your car is dry before applying.

$11.89 from www.handa-accessories.com. But they doen't ship to Canada, any savings would be lost on the drive to the border to pick-up.

Which dealership is selling it for $14 Kenny? Vancouver Honda?

shin-etsu is used for everything... from brake caliper pins to electrical connection grease but its very expensive. you could also use the honda pure silcone grease on a rag and wipe down seals.. alot cheaper then shin-etsu but with similar results
