Easy to use and the bottle comes with a sponge applicator on the top (well the one I bought anyway). Not used 303 so can't comment on that....I use Gummi, seems to do the trick in preventing the squeaking. Give the seals a fresh application when you know the weather is going to turn and it is more likely to help stop the windows freezing to them... as others have said, best to avoid a wash just before a freeze too
Did you apply before having a squeak? Yes, that was a good shout as the snow is more ice and I can only imagine what would have happened if it froze over after a clean.I use Gummi, seems to do the trick in preventing the squeaking.

I've ordered both in the hope one of them would get rid of that annoying squeal!
No, applied afterwards. In my case the noise was more of a rattle than a squeak on the drivers door, I was going to report it through the app, but read on here somewhere that the noise caused by the seal/glass can manifest as a rattling sound and that/their instance the cure was Gummi.... got some, applied it, rattle gone
Would be grateful of an update in a couple of months' time on how this is working for you. Will certainly be doing the same if there turn out to be no unintended consequences.Fed up with water dripping into the boot & seeing the addition of several small circular openings in the latest Model 3 rear screen rubber seal, I purchased this single hole paper punch https://amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000I5SAPY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 & put five equally spaced holes into the seal on mine (two can be seen in top pic below).
Care needs to be taken in twisting the seal to punch downwards & away from the glass to avoid catching or chipping the edge - quite easy but be aware & exert gentle pressure beforehand to check nothing is touching (I'm led to believe that to confirm Tesla glass is within tolerance, tap anywhere with the head of a pin to crack it).
On closing, pouring more water on the rear screen & opening the boot, it immediately trickled through into the trough below so it seems to work. Although I say it myself, the holes look as if they are OEM.

Same here, I was looking to retrofit the new seal but this seems a lot easier and cheaper...
Same for me. Nearly a year ago there was quite a bunch of us waiting for delivery early March. I remember the debates over a '69' plate or waiting for the boring '70'.Taxed it today. Thought I should do it before I lose the reminder.
Scary that next month it’ll be a year old.
Wince. I was nervous just about scratches when pushing snow off with my gloves, and being extra careful while shovelling snow near the car.
