Default winter proofing the car

Some people have suggested that with winter coming and the try cold weather that it can dry out and cause the rubber molding to crack/harden.

True? False?

If that's true, they have suggested applying some form of moisturizer to the moldings such as some basic hand moisturizer or Vasaline to more exotice molding dressings made just for that type of situation.

I never did anything like that to my previous cars.... should I?

my teg has been through many a winter. i never did anything special aside from waxing, and the molding still seems fine. maybe it's a bit more faded, but i'm thinking that's more so because of the age, not the cold winters. also, it's nothing that forever black won't fix. i wouldn't worry too much. the paint, on the other hand, is a different story.. h:
