As a newbie I'd like to keep my windshield/top gaskets in good shape. Have read on here that silicone lubricants work, but I cannot find anything that seems oily enough. Just sprays. Any advice on where to find a good product?
Thanks,

Spray a rag and then wipe the seals.

The absolute best stuff for this application is called Krytox made by Dupont. Look it up on Google. Operating range is something like -200C to +200C. Should suffice
Its used by most major manufacturers to overcome squeaks. Its mega expensive but once applied lasts forever.
You just can't wipe it off! Usually applied from a small bottle with spong applicator but has recently become available in a spray can.
Not sure where its sold in the USA but its made there.
