Hi,

I have a PA 2013 (pretty sure it is 2013).
It has been in storage for a bit and it appears that the seal on the rear hatch has swollen so it cannot close.
Is this accurate or is there lubrication that is needed for this (I have car disk brake grease that wont erode the rubber boots).

Help?

thanks,

No petroleum lubricants! These will damage the seals... they swell up.

Use silicones.
