Default t-top gaskets
is there anything that can be done to help the t-top gaskets last longer?

Owners manual says to wipe the weatherstrip down with dialectric silicone grease using a clean cloth.

At any auto parts store. Ask for it. It should be with all the other tubes of gasket makers and such.

Will this stop your t-tops from leaking as bad too?

Helped me, but I only got a couple drops on the driver's side during HEAVY HEAVY rain. Won't hurt to try, should be able to pick some up at your local parts store.
