It was something from DuPont Krytox not sure which one Ford specifies. It lasted about a year. Now just to convince my dealer to reapply yearly at no charge.
Sun roof rattle, yes again

"On the plus side the foam I added between the plastic trim and the sunroof frame quieted at least one rattle"
CDNRabbit, i was actually referring to the foam you said you added. Trh krytox is for lubrication, I get that, I have the plastic cross piece rattle. What foam did you use and how does that piece come off?

Just some adhesive weather stripping from HD on top of the factory installed foam.

This has been indicative of Ford as long as I have been driving (30 years). Every Ford I have ever has had a rattle somewhere - the engine, the windows, the headliner, the sunroof, the dashboard, etc. When I got my first Ford it drove me crazy as my 2 prior Japanese cars had had zero rattles. I got used to it pretty quickly though and now I just unconsciously tune the noises out.

My 2023 that I got in Dec 2022 started the roof knocking stuff and would knock over nearly every bump. I tried various lubes but they would last only a week or so. I did TSB 19-2374 for model year 2019’s (expensive lube) and more then a month later and not a peep. I could not understand how lube would fix knocks but it did.
Where did you apply this lube, like, exactly where, because it seems like I will have to deal with this myself. Now my car spent 21 days at the dealership, where they disassembled and assembled the thing two or three times, found out that nothing is broken, then performed a field test just to have the rattle start again on them. The third time, obviously with me urging them to give me the ride back, they assembled and drove back the car to me (about 150 miles) no rattle, I used it for two or three days, no rattle, then drove it to the city which is about 150 miles away and boom, it came back dancing and jumping. Now they want me to drive back to the dealership, 150 miles away from home, go on a field test with their mechanic and show them "exactly which rattle I am hearing" because after they had the car for three weeks because they couldn't get rid of the noise, now magically they think the noise comes from inside my head, and my wives head, and my childrens heads, and from inside the head of every person that gets in my car and gives me the "dude you got scammed, a car that sounds like that with only 21K miles is a *************" look. So, if anyone can help me get rid of the noise by myself, I will be forever in your debt.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MWLD8UO/ is the same stuff, 2oz instead of 0.5oz, and about half the price per-ounce.
And Jimmy, the lube goes on the rubber seals. all the way around it, and on the surfaces where the seals meet the body for good measure. This is basically the same thing I did on my F-150 to fix this same problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCj0pIjgT1M

Fine dust working into the rubber foam gasket on the edge of the sun roof. Tip it up use armor all and rag to
Wipe the gasket down. Then lower and open it and wipe the metal surface where the gasket touches.
Fine dust and that foam/rubber basically squeaks/chatters with movement

I am so glad this topic has been brought up. We got our ‘22 XLT in August 2022 and I’ve been searching for a solution since then but didn’t want to bring it back because I knew the dealership wouldn’t find anything.
So what makes that lubricant different than a less expensive one?
Also, does anyones rattling go away when you just vent the glass, and not have it fully open? Mine is only there if the glass is closed, regardless if the cover is open or closed.
