Trunk sticks to rubber

What should I put on the rubber gasket around my trunk to keep it from sticking when I try to open it?

Clean with APC then put some 303 protectant on it.

Or............

Conditions rubber weather seals on car doors, windows and trunks. Protects and keeps the rubber elastic. Restores color to dried out rubber. Protects against extreme temperature and UV rays. Solvent-free, water-based formula. Easy-to-use shoe polish type applicator makes application simple without the mess.
