Sunroof maintanance

[nice96gt]

I was wondering if there is any seasonal maintanance that I should do to my sunroof. Like should I treat the seals or grease anything. If anyone else has let me know. :)

Yep, just like any seals (door, windows, etc) the seals for the sunroof should be treated with a very light coat of silicon-based lubricant to make sure they remain flexible and don't crack.

Alright sounds good...

Owner's manual recommends dielectric grease for the seals. I found a can at AutoZone, the only place I've seen it.

Cool, I didn't actually think to look in the manual for it. I'll have to check it out. Thanks.

Hmmmmm...all I have ever done is make sure the rubber seals are clean (as weel as the lip of the roof where they touch the metal) and wipe 'em every so often with a silicone sprayed rag.

Also, I never open the sunroof in winter, waiting until we get temps well above freezing, which it finally has here: +13 today! Roof open for first time today.

Yeah I try to keep it closed through the winter. It was up to 17º here :D
