if it's the rubber seals, use a "black trim" polish on the window rubber. i use meguiar's trim restorer or dupont's lubricant for o-rings, seals, etc. you want the molding to be nice and moist or it'll "skip" rapidly against the metal and that causes the creaking. if it's something mechanical, better take it to the dealer or you could break a trim piece doing it yourself.

I know there is a TSB for this problem. It recommend using 3M Silicone Lubricant (Wet Type) (Part no. 08877) on the sunroof rubber.
I wouldn't recommend using Grease or WD40. These may damage the rubber. I don't know anything about the Dupont Lube...
Good luck.

Sunroof noises...............
Mine doesn't make any noise since I cleaned all channels and put WD-40 on
a rag and gave it a once over.........no squeeks, groans or moaning. My G
stays in a heated/airconditioned garage when it's not being driven and I'm
sure that helps too.

mine is squeaking like crazy. dealer "could not duplicate" the problem, i got in the car pushed up on the sunroof a little and it went squeak, squeak, squeak..... dealer said, could not duplicate problem....... they were standing right next to me!
Ive had this same exact problem - had to take it to the dealer twice to have them stop the squeaking. Good to see this thread though, because I am sure the noise will return and when it does i would rather fix it myself then go back to the dealer.
