Chic, there are a number of rubber rejuvenators out there. Available from Amazon to Wall Mart. Never used any myself, but what I've read, stay away from alcohol based products, they may look good but they will dry out the rubber over time. Most are petroleum based and some people have reccomended just using WD40. Whatever you try, apply it to a rag and try on a small section first and allow to dry and see if it does what your looking for. Good luck !!

Thanks John, I just put the CE into winter storage in Fredericksburg, Va at the Classic Car Center. But when I drop by to visit, smile, I will try some WD40.  Will pull her back out in April.  Chic

My buddy Pete (PJK82CE) found some reproduction hinges that solved his alignment woes.  I'll ask him to chime in on where he got them.
