Sneeze if the seal is rubber you should not use Vaseline As the petroleum in it will weaken and decay the rubber. It would be beter to use silicon.

Yeah Thanks Rushy,Im not sure if its rubber,it the lesser of two evils even if it is though. Its just an o-ring type so i can easily build a new seal. Its aroudd the control pannel and needs to opened , Iv never had much luck with silicone in that situation?
