Squealing sunroof

My sunroof has started squealing / squeaking when it's opened or closed. Sounds like maybe it's the rubber weatherstrip rubbing, but can't tell. Has anyone else encountered this? I've tried rubbing it down with the grease that's already there, but no luck. Thoughts?

Thanks!

bump


i need assistance with this one myself....my sun roof squeaks ONLY when closed, when its tilted open, NO SQUEAKS......

is there a type of grease, solution, or something i can use to get rid of this, replacing the weather stripping around the actual glass, IS NOT an option for me

use some white lithium grease on the rails in inner lip of the sunroof opening. That did it for me.
