Any products in particular?
Honestly, about dirt and dust, I'm concerned about it, but not too concerned about the fact that I put grease on the inside of the sunroof opening. Worst case scenario, if there's grime, etc. I wipe it all out and reapply.
No worries!

In my 89 Saab 9000 turbo, the previous owner NEVER cleaned the track (I didn't know as it was my first car) and when I stopped hard one day when it was raining water came rushing in on me. I was shocked as hell and frightened as I didn't expect to get soaked!

There's a GM grease for door seals, convertible seals, and window seals.
Then there's 303 Aerospace protectant. You apply it and wipe the excess off. It dries off very rapidly but is approved for a wide variety of rubber products even aircraft door seals.
Silicone grease and other grease products that remain "jelly-like" can attract dust/grit. When you trap this grit between the window seal and roof, it can wear out the paint.

Maybe someone already said this, but read the manual?
It says in the manual that you should periodically put silicone based lubricant on all of the seals. It also said something about avoiding petroleum based lubricants if I remember right. I don't have my car with me right now but it's in there.

That is 100% correct: use silicone grease on rubber seals

3634770: $46
12345579: $8.50
It looks like the silicone dielectric grease is less expensive. But like I said, it will attract sand and grit. It has to be a somewhat dry lubricant.
