Squeak noise from the panaroma sunroof

its pising the **** out of me this squeaking noise coming from the panarama sun roof. when i took it to my dealer 2 times for this reason they told me they put some kind of grease then when i took it on the road after a while it started again so while i was driving and it was still squeaking i took my right hand and started pushing the panarama sun room toward up ^, while i was forcing the sunrrom toward up^ with my hand there wasnt any noise it stoped ........does any one know what else i can do to stop the SQUEAKING ????

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!
