Pano Roof very sluggish in opening or closing

[Gadget-Ed]

My Pano roof is very sluggish in opening and when closing I find myself helping it along the way until it closes. The dealer was unable to provide any guidance or advice except for wanting to replace / re-build it. Does anyone have a suggestion, possibly lubrication that might help?

If you do a search here you will find how other lubed them. Makes a big difference.

Like mentioned above, try lubing the sunroof tracks with white lithium grease. I would first try to clean the sunroof tracks and check them for any obstruction like small rocks or grit and then apply the grease.

Thanks so much to everyone for your suggestions. I will try them out and follow up on how it went!

Mine is rattling and doesn't want to close if i open it and I have yet to lube it. Can you link to a detailed how to guide on where to lube?
