Take the scuttle panel off and see if the two drain holes on either side of the bottom of the windscreen are blocked. The scuttle panel (if you don't know) are the plastic panels between the bonnet and the windscreen. Where the windscreen wiper arms stick out.

Good. Red rubber grease is the best because that's what its designed for. I only recommend petroleum jelly because it does the job and is cheap and easy to find. Buying a whole tub of rubber grease for just this job would be a waste. I have found plain vanilla grease not good on rubber parts in the long term. It glues the rubber to the metal.
Having said all that though, if you are going to do serious work on your brakes you'll need the rubber grease. No doubt that's why you had it?

I have not dealt with torque-to-yield Head bolts and it frightens the sh out of me! But...I'll have to do it one day.

Please, let us know how you get on.
