Hey have any of you guys ever needed to lubricate your sun roofs? I just noticed that when I open mine it shudders like it is binding up. Do I just need to grease the railings or is there somewhere else that needs to get lubed as well?

 

yeh def! Actually since it starts getting really warm out when it hits about halfway mine started to stutter. GREASE it up. It wont hurt anything. I greased mine up and it slides great like BRAND NEW!! Go to your local car parts store tell em that you need grease to grease the sunroof and they hook ya up!

 

do you know what kind of grease it was?? i should do this to mine too...and seing as i have a parts store i should have it...or be able to get it...just wondering what kind is best

 

It is just the rails though right, I dont have to take anything apart to lube up correct. It looks like there was just regular chassis grease on there before. Ill give it a shot, and hope that it does the job.

 

i just got told that spray white litheum grease works well and so does spray silicone...so i think i'm gonna do that on mine

 

Sounds good, I think I even have some of that in the garage already. Ill Give it a try and let you guys know.

 

Space posted a great link to an article on sun roof care. Maybe he'll repost it.

 

It's just standard grease, nothing special. If it binds up for awhile, just keep hitting the button and push back with your hand. Then completely close and repeat a few times. That clears up my problems when I pull the battery or PCM. It seems to need to relearn where the stops are.
