I always used Sil-Glyde Silicone Lubricant on our t-top seals on the Hurst hatches on our 77 T/A SE. Never had a water leak! I used Sil-Glyde since it contained no petroleum distillates that other silicone lubes have. Not sure about the AC stuff. Squirt a bit out on a cloth rag and rub a fine film over the seal surfaces.

I've been giving some thought to treating my t-top (and other door and window) seals with something. When I worked at a Chevy dealer (30+ years ago) we always used a silicone lubricant on seals. Used it on Camaros with t-tops and M/L van sliding door weatherstrips, among others. Looks like 303 also makes a product for seals. I'll have to try one of these.

303 smells like old people body odor.
