Default Sunroof creaking

My sunroof creaks and makes noise when closed, but is quiet when cracked open. Will new rubber seals on the sunroof and in the body fix that? How hard is it to replace?

It's not the sunroof itself that's creaking, it's that wind deflector doohickie that you flip up when you remove the sunroof. Pull out the sunroof and lube the deflector hinge points and you should be good to go.

Well I tried white lithium on the deflector but still got the creak. So, I went ahead and changed both seals (body and sunroof) and it's now much tighter and the creaking sound is all gone! Looks better too.
