Default Sunroof noise

I have looked around but really couldn't find an answer to my problem.

Not sure if anyone has any personal experience with this. My sunroof will have a low pitch squeak when tiling or when opening (only up to the point where the glass is being tilted below the roof line).

When the glass is being pulled open or closed there is no noise, except again when the glass needs to tile up.

I had the glass out and was just opening the unit up and down. Had the sqeak with the glass out. I cleaned the tracks and put lithium grease the the grooves that move the roof up and down. Still making that squeak.

Is there another place I need to grease or is there a schematic somewhere that shows how I can take the plastic arms off once I have the glass out.

Any advise is appreciated. The roof sticks a bit now but I can still get it open or closed by hitting the button. I think I need to re-calibrate it. I know there is nothing in the channels.

Thanks

I had it in my hand but thought the lithium would be better. I will have to try that this weekend. Clean out the rails and use the silicone.... couldn't hurt?
