Today I finally got around to sorting the sunroof lubrication properly. I'd been opening the sunroof a lot lately, and the groaning sound when closing had been getting worse. Last week it decided it was not going to close as it thought something was blocking the mechanism.
Got myself some white lithium grease, and after liberal application the roof is working perfectly again, and its completely silent when operating. I did notice some signs of wear, along the very outer runner but thats not hindering the operation of the roof.
