Default Driver Seat Groaning at a point

I really only notice this when the memory seats are activated and my driver's seat moves forward. The wife has her settings closer to the dash than I do, so when she pushes the button to get to her seat settings as the seats moves forward it does a groaning sound. The sound to me sounds like it might actually be the lubrication around the rails that is causing the issue. If I move the seat back I get the same noise, but after a certain point it's silent again. It seems to be more at the front of the rails where the sound is. What's the best thing to use here for lubrication that is not going to stink the car out?

I had a similar issue. I used Quiksilver telfon grease, it's typically used for marine applications. No smell at all.
