I have to agree with Dave. Never use Vasolene or other lubricants on seals or other rubber parts. I had a problem with my mode switch for a couple of years until all it did was whistle. I finally took the time to check it out (I believe in May of 2000) and took it all apart. So what do you use on vacuum parts, dah, try high vacuum grease. Put just a little coating on the rubber part and it will work again. I haven't had any problems with since. Still the original part. All functions work great with lots of air thru all dash and door openings. Vic 7012 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
