For the electrical connections, use dielectric grease. Also, for the yellow air bag connector, use a tie wrap to keep the connector from separating, thus causing the alarm.
There is a recall on the air bag alarm, cause by the connector coming loose.
I believe GM just cuts out the connector, and solders the wires together, which IMO, is not the right way to do it. It thus makes it difficult to remove the seat from the car without being able to separate the wires via a connector.

For the track, you can use a white lithium or silicone based lubricant.
