Default Seals around vert top?

A buddy of mine has a 72. Warned me to treat the seals around the windows and all around the convertible top.
Any suggestions as to what to buy for this?

Most people buy the dielectric grease you can get from an electrical store or some places like NAPA or autozone. Spread it very thin or you will have a mess on your hands. Don't get the spray stuff. Get it in a tube. Good Luck.
