...per the manual. It's under the Convertible Top section for my 06.
AFAIK mileage isn't really relevant.
Maintenance
Dust is the main cause of creaks or other sounds coming from the convertible top. Regularly clean the body seals with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use a scraper or de-icing chemicals to remove frost, snow, or ice from the top or the rear window. Every 3 to 6 months, depending on how often the top is folded, rub a thin film of Shin-Etsu Silicon Grease (available from your dealer, P/N 08798-9013) onto the seals wherever they touch the convertible top or each other.

thanks fellas. I gotta run up to boca raton this afternoon and can stop at home depot or something on the way. So what your saying is if I get a basic silicone grease it will work just fine? Where can I get this "shin-etsu" stuff locally?
