Creaking sunroof- revisited again

Booked car in for service last week and drove car with technician.
Was advised that they had applied some lubricant, not sure where as did not have time to discuss this as dealer was late getting car ready for pick up.
Did not solve the problem.
Temperature has dropped this week and noise on sunroof is now really noticable and incredibly annoying! Very Un-BMW like based on my previous long experience of various Bmw models.
Sounds like the noise that you used to get on sunroofs in the 1970's(For those that can remember those days).
Seems to be coming from the flexing of the sunroof panels when car goes round corner and over bumps, not coming from the centre piece.
In the autumn last year the dealer had the car for a couple of days and had the roof out and replaced the casette. It was the first X3 sunroof they had worked on and now wondering if they have refitted it correctly or whether there is a design fault.
I would be interested to hear if anybody else is having these problems, especially owners in countries with cold climates say Canada etc as the problem manifests itself mainly at below about 10 degrees centigrade?
