I have had problems with weatherstrip on other vehicles. It might not be a good idea to take it on and off all the time. I had a section of strip that pinched into the metal and developed a rust spot. If you keep removing the strip it could create a bad spot. I would do it infrequently if possible. It's not a good spot for water to stay and not a fun place to remove rust from. Be careful when removing.

After wheeling out here in the desert, I have to use the brush attachment on the shop-vac and go over the whole interior of the car, especially the dash and controls. Then, I wipe it down with a wet cloth to get the rest of the dirt off. Finally, I can give it the low gloss Armor All treatement. It takes forever, but is well worth it. When the strips are Armor All treated, the sand comes off much easier.

good luck
