Both sides of both the interior and exterior wiper seals.. Its was a bit challenig for and old man like me to try to hold the iPhone and use the other hand to do the work...

I lift up the seal and work the sock.. or it could be a rag also and wipe back and forth along the underneath side as well as exposed sides

On the exterior wiper seals I find that even at age 69 I just get on the roof and get down on my belly and crawl along the edge of the roof and work the baby powder into the wiper seals ( vertical and horizontal ones ).. The exterior D seals I either pull the slides about half way in and do the high areas from the roof or use my ladder with the slides extended.

My slide D seals never stick and pop when opening the slides and they leave no marks on the filon walls.. Any of those "Slide seal condtioners" when used on the D seals WILL, on a hot summer day when you extend the slides often cause the D seals to stick to the filon wall, make marks, and often the slide sticks a tad till the extend motion pops the D seals loose from the filon..

Others like those products... I will stick with what has worked for decades for me.. My D seals on my 2014 are still the originals, no tears, etc.
