Some notes on sunroof "rattle"

Continually frustrated by sunroof rattles and my inability to isolate and fix them, I made a concerted effort yesterday to deal with it for good. It was me versus the Aero. Months ago I had tightened the screws as has been recommended here, but to no avail, and the advent of warmer weather seems to have exascerbated the problem to a point where the roof was making a terrible racket yesterday while closed and riding some clients around. How utterly appalling was the idea that they might think of my bad-ass Swede as a rattle-trap! But what sounded like a rattle turned out to be the felt surfaces of the sunroof rubbing against the metal of the car body.
I applied some silicone-based preservative (Auto Magic) to the felt, greased the rails, and lubricated other moving parts--and the noise is abated enough to where I can't hear it while driving. If I push up against the sunroof while parked I do hear some gnashing of the surfaces, but not nearly as much as before.
