I would not recommend the use of either one. They will both do a good job of making the bugs a lot easier to remove but they each have their problems.

WD-40 is great on metals but the components can degrade plastic and leach out the plasticizers which makes them brittle. Some plastics do better than others and it may take a while for the damage to become noticeable; in my experience, the rule of thumb is "the softer the plastic the faster WD-40 will attack it."

Silicone can soak into the paint which will cause all sorts of problems if you need to respray (new paint won't stick to silicone contaminated areas).

For temporary use, the Saran Wrap idea mentioned by CMadison above sounds like a good solution - cheap, easy to install, clings well but shouldn't stick hard enough to cause any damage on removal. Never tried it but it sounds like a good idea. YMMV
