Instead of grease try lanolin. It is a stiff white-yellow waxy substance that stays where you put it, it does not get dirty or smell bad. It comes from wool.

I get it at mcmastercarr.com

Put a thin coat of lubricant on the slide rails and slide blocks, in other words, the moving parts and the stationary parts that they touch. See arrows.

I had the same problem and it turned out to be a broken hinge on the sunroof that was replaced with a whole new unit with the wind deflector thing. No more squeak!
