Yeah, but you can't blame the previous owner for that, lol.

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.

It should cut down on some heat coming through the mat.
