Sunroof Squeaky

So it's 13 degrees out this morning, and as I pull out the driveway, I hear what can only be described as a couple of squirrels in a cage match upon my roof. Damn this is really annoying. If I pop up the roof at the first setting it goes away. I'm thinking perhaps some silicone spray aound the rubber gasket might alleviate
the noise? Anyone here experience this problem, and if so what solution have you come up with? I'd rather not have to trek to the dealer TIA

Try the silicone spray. If that doesn't work, move to a warmer place.

I didn't have squirrels in a cage match upon my roof:-) Note I took this photo to see if I could duplicate the "man taking a poop" dashboard photo that's been floating around. The MINI at -4 man isn't as good as the other photo. (If you haven't seen the photo, envision the 4 as a man and the minus sign a toilet seat.)
