I have a 2001 Jayco pop top and am having some trouble with the rubber seals between the pop top and the van top sticking together when it is stored for even a short while.

Any suggestions.

Try coating one surface with a silicone spray such as CRC 808 Silicone Spray available fro auto accessory stores. Will not harm rubber and does not stay greasy.
