Silicone Grease is what you are talking about.

My dealer replaced the moonroof today under warranty, no problem at all. Will use protectant on the seal to avoid this in the future.

Thank for all of the input on this thread!

Use 303 Aerospace or the grease mentioned above. Don't use Armorall....

I had mine replaced on my 2013 for free, under warranty, a few years ago. The replacement is exhibiting the same issues a few years later.

Someone needs to market and sell replacement trim for these sunroofs. Replacing the whole assembly for rotten rubber is asinine

Use this. It's always the go to lube for rubber seals.

My 2015 had the same problem and they replaced the entire sunroof under warranty. Not sure if they'd do anything out of warranty since it's such an expensive job.
