product for top squeak

i've had noise in the weather stripping, where the clear top comes in contact with the windshield molding. what is a good product to use? i was thinking any silicone based spray would probably do....,but i like to see if any one is familiar with this

I tried the GM Dilectric grease and it did not work, but what did work is something I read on this forum. Put a piece of shrink wrap on all 4 posts on the top. Problem solved. Good luck

thanks guys for your help. after some research on the forum i swapped the o-rings on the front posts as i was lucky enough to get two tops with the car. the noise has stopped! i went to the dealer to purchase some o-rings in case the problem returned, and they sell the o-rings as a complete part with the posts for about $26.00 ea! these are not std o-rings. i am trying to find an exact replacement as o-rings should be about .20 cents each.
