What is a good way to rejuvenate or maintain the rubber seals on the car?

Never let sunlight or oxygen ever touch them. Oh, yea, we live on Earth. Guess you have to replace them every now and again.

If you're talking about your '67 MGB... they're 48 years old. At some point, they'll need to be replaced. smiling smiley

I've had good results using this stuff on door & trunk seals, rad & heater hoses, windshield seals. Brand name not important. A quick spray once in a while, wipe off the excess and you're good.

Do NOT use on fan belts or get it on the brakes.

macGuier's vinyl and rubber cleaner is pretty good at maintaining and bringing back seals. I soaked an old style trunk lid seal in it for a couple of weeks and it became soft again.

All rubber products are going to deteriorate at some point I time. Looks like this is the point in time.
