Default What grease to use on seat railings and sunroof railings?

I was thinking of using some Mobil 1 grease I have (red grease), but i don't want the interior of my car smelling like grease.

Is there a particular type of grease that should be used? Thanks!

Default actually yes there is sunroof grease

its in etka... I've seen it before.

and I think it might be the same stuff for use in the window tracks too.

expect it to be outrageously expensive at the dealership... $20 to $35.

Default if you use sticky stuff

it will attract dirt and it will end the sunroof's life prematurely... debris is not a good way to help a sunroof operate properly.... sticky lubricants attract and retain debris.
