i use this by wd40 it works quite well because it has silicone in it ,i presume you leave you car outside to, you will need to do it ever few weeks .

I used Halford’s silicone lubricant which seems to have cured it - for now. Good for squeaky sunroof seals too.

Ive used krytox lubricant on mine - maybe a little overkill and expensive
