Sunroof noise

I notice the sound of the sunroof opening and closing is louder than I think it should be. It's not grinding, it's not scraping, just seems.... loud. Like it needs grease or something...

Anyone have this problem and a way to fix?

Sunroof Noise

I've also noticed the same. It seems louder when closing. Anyone have a "how to" lube the rails? I have tried wiping out the rails and relubing with some white grease...but no difference.

Thanks!~

um im not rly sure what the dealership uses but they probably have the time to completely take out the roof and do what they have to, to every moving part and then put it all back together
