Try a silicone grease in a tube, it will last longer. There used to be a dry silicone spray that worked quite well on 914 tops that squeaked like the dickens without it. I used to get it at NAPA, but that was many moons ago. They may still have it and it should be the best solution. It lasted quite a long time on my 914s.
I used the last I had on the rear window seals on my last suburban. It worked well there also, same deal, rubber on glass contact.
The silicone will not hurt the rubber or the metal, so don't worry about that.
MY brother and I were both 914 fans. We each had a 916/6 at one time or another and both had several 2 liters. Every time my brother sees my box he asks why Porsche didn't build the Boxster instead of the 914. He may be right, he doesn't think there would be any other sports car companies left in business, if they had.
