Sunroof Lubrication

[Bay33saw]

My sunroof is starting to make some noise when I open and close it so I'm guessing it needs some lubrication.
My question to all you guys is......it's dusty here in Las Vegas so which lubricant would be best for my sunroof?
I was thinking something like this.

Silicon sprays - DS-100 dry silicon spray

Thoughts please

I probably need to do the same thing. Sometimes mine will stop closing and reverse direction. I've had to lube it a few times, but there's no telling what I was using. hwell:

Not positive, but I always thought a thicker white lithium based grease would be better for the tracks? The silicone might be too thin?

white lithium is the way to go....

Only thing about Lithium is the amount of dust and crap we get in the desert.
