exactly...I used the chain lube and the straw to put into the gap beside the groves behind the sunroof and sprayed the tracks behind it. Its been working great since!

 

I added a picture to my gallery since I couldn't figure out how to easily put a picture in this message.

 

Just so happens my sunroof started to act up the other day. I greased it today. However, instead of using white lithium grease like I previously recommended, I decided to opt for hi-temp bearing grease. Even a generic can from Autozone will do well. I thought it would have a heavy smell with the sunroof shut, but it doesn't. It will definitely last longer than the white lithium formula.

When you look into the top of the sunroof tracks, you will notice there are actually two sets. One set is for the two front glass mounts, and the other set is for the rear two. The front tracks are easier to grease. Just make sure you notice that they are all the way at the bottom of the drain well.

The rear ones have both top/bottom and side contact edges. Mine was still stiff until I greased these. Then it went back-and-forth so much smoother.

I used an incense stick (I save these after burning them; they have lots of uses) to work the grease into the tracks. A toothpick should work just as well. Once the grease is in place, just open/close the sunroof a few times, and you're good to go.

 

JumpinJackFlash - thanks for that info, if the weather and baby cooperate I'm going to try to do this over the weekend.

I also need to grease the door hinges, they creak. I tried greasing the passenger's door hinge parts with white lithium spray but first of all it makes an obvious mess, and second it doesn't seep into the dry areas very well. It bunches up on the surface of the part.

I'm going back to PepBoys to find some other grease like you recommend.

 

Im going to get a little technical but cant offer a great solution. If you use a delayed viscosity lubricant, it will penetrate to the area and then expand and lubricate without "bunching up" in front of the area you want to lubricate.

I used to sell a private label lubricant years ago in another lifetime.

It was clear, hung to vertical surfaces and would not throw off moving parts.
I still have a can and use it on door hinges and Mini Cooper sunroofs!
