Default Barricade roof rack squeaking

So I found the barricade 2-dr roof rack for $189 on the Xtreme Terrain website last year. I installed it. It's dropped my mileage, killed my get up and go and is pretty loud. I'm OK with all of those things. A future regear will do me good. But I can't stand the constant squeaking. Can anybody tell me how to make it stop? I'd imagine any rack will have this problem. Is there a real solution? I squirted WD40 in all of the connection points. That worked for about a day. It's making me crazy.

Wd40 is not a lube type of oil it's meant to diffuse water and protect electrical components ( water dispersal formula #40 ) try something like lithium spray lube or grease
