Armor-All is an oil, try a degreaser!

Front window seal leaks(especially bad for the fuse box!) and door seal
leaks.

As for that one, I don't know much about Mk2 roccets heating/vent 
systems....Mk1's have a wire connected to the lever that opens and closes
the vents, they break alot where they connect to the lever inside the
dash.( I got so sick of replacing/fixing those levers on my 78 rabbit, I
gave up and opened/closed the vents by hand, up under the dash....)
