I wouldn't recommend Armor All or anything else with raw silicone in it--not the greatest stuff for seal longevity or consistency.

Glycerin, or glycerin-based soap, would work well to help slide the seals into place. If you want an official glycerin-based lubricant/preservative just for rubber seals and trim, BMW sells a product in a tube called gummiphlege (sp?) that is excellent.

After I used it on my 914, it was like somebody had turned off the "squeaky" switch. ;-)
