It has been my experience that when you start hearing noises and hang ups, its gonna be time to replace the unit.

you cant really grease em where they need to be greased, only way to lube the rear slides and gearbox is to pull the pillar trim and headliner. also a good time to clamp on the drain tubes so they wont pop off when you blow the debris outta them. also a good time to change the weatherstripping/seals.

be really careful with the grease selection as you wouldnt want too thick...

When it is -5°F outside, things move slower and are noisier. Quit opening you sunroof in the middle of winter and it will be fine.

unbolt the sunroof, clean the tracks and grooves of any debris
then spray white lithium grease

i had a similar problem when my sunroof wasn't closing properly passenger side didnt want retract down. Didnt touch the sunroof for a few days and now it works perfectly.

I keep my sunshade closed and don't touch the sunroof until spring time

I avoid sun/moon roof equipped vehicles like the plague.....

leave it closed and spread clear rtv over the edges to keep it from leaking

 

[slowchevy]

Baby carrot dick won't do the job

When it's warmer or you very I'll be dropping that sunroof

keep in mind that for some headliners to be removed you have to pull both front seats and the upper seatbelts/b pillar trim to the floor.

its extremely easy to damage headliners especially when they are as old as that one is now....even if you get it in/out without damage give it a month...then the felt will start peeling down not long after....so you may want to just go ahead and replace it

i think we paid about 450$ for a new headliner on a caddy years back after it started saggingafter a couple weeks.....we no longer worked on sunroofs after that one....

 

[slowchevy]

Had the headliner in and out of my old impala several times, fixing wiring issues, clogged drains, replacing the whole assembly. Luckily the seat belts on the park avenue are mounted to the seats =)

That's what I like about it.. you don't really feel the miles you drive. You just sit on your couch and watch the miles go by.
