Sunroof squeek

I am having a small bit of trouble trying to convince my Acura service guy that the sunroof is NOT suppost to squeek when fully closed. When you open the sunshade and apply your hand directly in the center of the glass, then push up rapidly on the glass, you hear a squeeking sound. Now, this also happens when I am driving around. I believe it is the rubber seal against the actual car's sunroof frame area.

I remember a while back there was a TSB on this, telling the dealer to use a tape? Some members were even told to lubricate their opening of their roof?? (actually that's why my dealer suggested)

I would like to print out a copy of this TSB so it can get done correctly, not by using lube. Anyone got any links to a main TSB data base? or even better the actuall TSB for this problem?

Thanks!!

DON"T USE THE TAPE! the teflon tape sometimes comes off and leaves a sticky residue on the edge of the roof opening

have them lube it with the honda grease

Is this acura lube avalible through the parts counter?

Seems kinda like a "make-shift" solution. But sounds like it's what going to solve the problem.

thanks
