Default Sunroof squeak!

So, I went to the movies today and when I came out after leaving my car sit in the 95 degree heat for a few hours, I popped open the sunroof. It made a kinda odd squeak as it opened and closed, and also when it opened and closed in vent mode. So, I dripped RemOil gun lube all over the rails and presto! It worked! Hooray for me! What lubricants do you people use?

Is it just me, or isn't the option to DELETE the sunroof when buying an A4? Otherwise, they just assume you want one.

Well, seeing how the majority of owners on this forum have bought their cars preowned, it's kinda hard to pick option packages, you know?

Customer: Hi, I want that 2003 A4 over there, the silver one!
Dealer: Oh, ok, it's $xx,xxx.
Customer: Oh, that's a nice price, but can you knock it down a bit if you remove the sunroof, sport package and heated seats?
Dealer: GET OUT!
Customer: Why does this always happen to me?!

Like you say, when buying a preowned vehicle it's impossible to pick and choose optionspackages.So obviously, if you're considering whether you can afford the option of a sunroof or not, then you must be purchasing the car new, rather than preowned.

I use white lithium too.

However in hot weather, I still have a little squeek here and there.
I just pop a cold sam adams and dont worry about it too much.
