I just purchased a 2007 Eos and, other than a creaky roof, I am amazed at the engineering feat of this vehicle! Does anyone know anything about a product called Krytox as a potential lubricant between the panels to reduce that creaking sound? Thanks!

Just type in Krytox in the search box on this site and you will find so much information. Yes, your seals need to be lubed....I bet you'll get rid of many of your creaks!

Here's a link to the "classic" article about application:

Much thanks for an incredible response! I have read through the link and it is truly a wealth of information! Thankfully, my roof is simply 'creaky' and not 'leaky'. Living in the Pacific Northwest, that is a good thing! I will get going on this post haste....
