Default Moon roof grease

I decided to clean all the dirty grease on the roof top and wiped the rubber seal along the moon roof. Now it squeaks, duh, there is no more grease! So what do I use to regrease the moon roof? And what exactly needs to be greased...there is a lot of old dirty stuff that should be cleaned out and I want to tackle this before it gets cold. Thanks much!

Smile Honda Shin-etsu grease for squeeks

Honda Shin-etsu grease is what my dealership uses (and now me) for all rubber squeeks... door seals, window tracks, seat squeel against plastic lower cover, etc. If you are lubing the sliding tracks however, I would probably use a waterproof multipurpose grease with long staying power (I personally use marine grade synthetic grease which never seems to wash away after I apply them).

Follow up: Pohanka Lexus (Chantilly VA) suggests spray silicone to wipe the seal, it conditions the seal, and has to be done on a regular routine basis. I will do this every time I wash the car, so I should be good to go.
