Sprayed a lot on a rag and wiped it into the rubber.
That was about 6 or so months ago. Just starting to hear that sound again. Time to reapply.

I also have this problem and posted it up on another thread. When I brought mine into the dealership for them to look at they denied me service claiming it was my aftermarket suspension being stiffer than stock causing the sunroof to pop. I'm tempted to take the roof apart myself and see what's up. A few people in that thread claimed that the hardware had come loose and when tightened back up it no longer made the noise.

I had the dealer readjust the new sunroof because they said it would make it go away once and for all at last, but it never really did.
My fix: I got a G37S - not a single pop. The 36% stiffer chassis definitely comes in handy. I truly hope someone finds a fix for the popping on the G35's because it's an amazing car, but I couldn't live with all that popping and the rattles...
By the way, check for threads on GT-Spec braces, some people claim that after installing some of these braces, chassis twisting disappears, which makes the popping go away - I never got to try this.
My $0.02.

Not sure why the G has so many loose bolts. Previously the dealership had to retorque my rear axle bolts. And Back in Aug 2010, they retorqued the rails. I'm guessing for 2011, it's going to be the lug nuts.
