For rubber bushings, mounts and weatherstrips, is it ok to coat with silicone grease? (i.e. dielectric silicone grease for electrical parts)

silicone grease works for me.
I believe KY is safe on rubbers as well.

You might find that some heavier lubes like Silglide will freeze onto weatherstripping
