Sqeeky cabrio top when open in sunroof position anyone?

My 2006 cab has 15k miles and recently developed multiple lound squeeks when in sunroof position. Goes away if I close the roof or lower the top entirely. I haven't spoke to dealer as yet. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. Thanks

I do. A little graphite lube would probably solve the problem, but I haven't done anything yet.

same here

I had the squeak and it was fixed with some grease
They remove the plastic guard that covers the rails when the sunroof is slid open.

i had then do it when i went in for service
