Mapa has a great for regulators ,sunroofs it is called Sil-Glyde
and it doesn't smell like petroleum based. I also wipe my weatherstrip in the back so not too much squeaking.

Lithium base for the motor pinion to the regulator drive. I might be inclined to do nothing for the slide in the run channel or maybe the Sil-Glyde product but certainly nothing more.
