Anyone found how to fix small rattle from the sun roof???

I got this very annoying creaking, rattling sound from the sunroof cover, it disappears when i push on it (on the sliding cover).

this was my first rattle in my 04 tl about 3 years ago. i went to pepboys and bought some type of white grease that came in a small silver tube and applied it to the both tracks that the sunroof cover slides on. i opened and closed the sunroof cover about 20 times to even out the grease and it has never rattled since.

apply a little bit at first and see if works. then use more if needed

My sunroof was creaking when it was closed. To fix the problem I wiped down the rubber seal with a wet rag while it was in the tilt and halfway open position. I then applied silicone by spraying it on a rag and rubbing it on the rubber seal. Creaking gone.

I did the same thing...problem fixed!

The dealer wanted to replace the entire headliner and shade...I can't imagine the other rattles that would have started.
