Some silicone spray would help, also keep oil off of them rubber and oil don't get along too well...

NO silicone anywhere near the car....Silicone on parts, body, etc, that you may ever want to paint, is a no no...
The rubber parts, if stored properly, will be there for many yrs, without need for special coatings.

If your car is stored indoors, or even outdoors without driving it, the rubber is going to last a very long time. My observation is that rubber products for the most part are much better than those made 50 years ago.

Rubber deteriorates from UV exposure and contact with any oils or petroleum products. As long as they are not stored outside, you'll be o.k. I wouldn't put any armor all(silicone) or anything of the sort anywhere near them. Like Chuck said, you don't want that near any metal being prepped for paint and bodywork.

Hmm, he didn't say he wanted paint to stick to the car, just that he wanted to preserve the rubber... But like most of my ideas that one sucked...
