i'm wondering how brand dependent this is. How different is Kiwi or any other spray silicone waterproofing. To me it just Sounds like just a silicone spray followed by a graphite dry lube spray. Silicone spray will soak into the rubber, graphite will then sit on the surface.

like I said, there was a video on boob tube that I saw and he used kiwi and dry lube. I thought I'd posted it, but I can't find it here.

[edit] found it. Maybe the kiwi helps the dry lube stick? dunno lol.

lol.....just the kiwi sped mine up not remembering the "process" with manual windows. I did it his way the first time years ago and it worked, my "wrong way" and it worked.

I was going to do something on the Suburban today, but the part didn't show up yesterday. So I was hoping it would arrive today then I could have done it tomorrow, but that didn't happen. So if it shows up tomorrow, I can do it on Saturday...

When I replaced the super icky ancient almost 20 year old Hurst replacement for the OEM shift boot the other day...

I noticed that when i removed the Hurst boot, I realized I had left a chunk of the OEM boot, which on the outside was almost square, and the retainer had a squarish flange that covered the oval rubber/metal part that fit under the retainer. I had left a piece of what was left of the OEM boot in place, since the Hurst retainer was a lot larger than the original. Another thing I realized was that when I screwed in the Hurst boot/retainer, it didn't go through the sheet metal and was only attached to the floor mat and padding. I obviously was in a hurry since it was probably 110° when I did that exercise in Death Valley. And also noticed that the remnants of the OEM boot was actually a sandwich with an inner boot and the squarish outer boot. Two boots sammiched together.

So I began a search on the earlier style boot which I got from LMC. Lo and behold there was supposed to be an inner boot that slid onto the collar of the transmission. Had to find one of those now and I found one.

This is the part that took the slow journey to me and it arrived today. So I went ahead and re-did the boot with the new inner boot this time. And it was only 96° when I finished a few minutes ago. I need to find a shady place to work on this truck.
