Excessive wind noise from sunroof when closed

I have excessive wind noise from my sunroof when it is closed and I am traveling at highway speeds. Everything appears to be lined up properly and I do not have the wind deflector (not attractive in my opinion). What options do I have to reduce this noise? Lubricate the seals? Have the dealer check alignment? etc. Thanks.

Might need new seals. They get dry rotted and stuff.

you sure its from the sunroof and not the sliding cover underneath? that thing has a tendency to shake at high speeds.

^Both of these.

White lithium grease on the sliding parts. Silicone on the seals.

It is definitely wind noise and not the sliding cover underneath. I will try the silicone on the seals. Thanks for the input.
