I think I got a little too carried away on cleaning up the sunroof tracks. When I open / close the sunroof I get a little squeak. It doesn't sound like a motor squeal. Should I apply some sort of lube somewhere. If so, what product and where exactly?

I put some graphite lube on the rails of mine in my e30 to get it to start working properly. Just don't use anything to thin or it can run in and stain your headliner.

and I've worked the rails, hinges... stuff works great. Don't have to worry about clinging particles over time.

Anyone have any real specific place(s) / location(s)? Withe pictures / diagram? I prefer not to put anything where I don't have to.
Jason, where exactly do you lube the doors?

I just did the rails on my car. On the doors I do the strap that keeps the the door from closing on you, and used some spray lube for the hinges. Got rid of all the creaks.
