I use Gummi Pfledge.
I would remove the top, and place it on a stand or upside on a thick blanket. Then clean the seals with water (you could add some car wash if you wanted too) and use cheap towels because they will turn black. Then apply the Gummi Pfledge, and when you are done clean the applicator tip. I would then let it sit for about an hour before reinstalling the top. Gummi Pfledge is the best thing you can use on rubber in my opinion, it can actually help the seals plump back up.

Gummi Pfledge is the best. I use it on all the seal including the hardtop.

Exactly. Even if you don't have a hard top, it is a great idea to apply it to your rubber seals/gaskets on the doors, trunks, and convertible top header. I also put some on my clamshell although that isn't really a rubber gasket. The Boxster chassis was designed as a convertible and is pretty stiff, but it still flexes and those seals are quieter with some gummi phledge on them.
