On different sites I read that that the elements of a SLK roof has to be lubed by:
Metal on metal (M/M): by lithium grease
Metal on rubber (M/R): by silicon grease
Rubber on rubber (R/R): Krytox
Mercedes is recommending its own roof lube... “Sliding compound lubrification oil”...
Part no: A 000 9893660 Just 30 ml and 43.03 Euros (+/- 60 US dollars)...
Shin-Etsu for Honda S2000 is no more available...
Any alternatives products and prices in Europe or elsewhere for M/M, M/R and R/R..?

is this for all the rattle and squeaking that the top makes while driving? because my 98 slk is getting noisier and noisier everyday when i drive.

First I used the locally (Paris-France) available softener for rubber sealings...

Second used lithium grease for hatches...
Try... You will feel the difference...
No need to use the silicon grease...
