Try sealsdirect.com code ATJ 1943.

It is perfect for "bulking" up flattened seals. I have just used it on my hardtop and will use it on my softtop when i take the hard top off.

For the soft top get an autoglym soft top kit.

Hope that helps...

I used that one mine it was great for a week and you could see the water beading on the roof, but seemed to wash off very quickly
