Does anyone know where the lube points are for the sunroof? Mine has started to squeak when opening or closing. Thanks for the help.

Woo-Hoo!! Thanks for passing that along! After not opening all winter, my sunroof was struggling, not being very happy about the whole business, and yelping like a kicked puppy. I lubed it up tonight (inside/back AND outside/front tracks) and it is as smooth and quiet as new!

Excellent info!!!

I haven't noticed a squeak, but I do have a rattle. My rattle doesn't come from the sunroof itself, but from the plastic panel that holds the sunscreen in place. When the roof is closed, this panel rattles quite a bit. It dosen't make a difference whether or not the screen is closed, and it only happens around 3K rpm. My car is an 02 MCS, so others may not have this problem. If anyone knows how to cure this annoyance, please share! Thanks.
