    Could you seal it with some silicone caulk?
    Silicone would be a great substitute for the rubber seal. Many silicones are acid cure and are corrosive to electronics. You would want to use a neutral cure silicone. GE Silicone II is easy to find and is inexpensive. It's much cheaper than electronic specific silicones.

    High vacuum grease is the grease to use. Use a small amount in the groove to retain the seal. Also, put a small amount between your thumb and forefinger and coat the entire seal.

    If the seal has shrunk, stretch it slightly so it fits naturally in the groove. If it has stretched, place the seal in the groove all the way around with the excess hanging out. Put the two halfs together and while holding them together with slight pressure, push the remaining seal into the groove between the halfs.
