Sunroof Grease?

I have an 04, and the grease lubes that the sunroof tracks has dried out. So when I open it, makes alot more noise.

Wonder what type of grease I should use on it. Thanks.

I thought- the white lithium grease I have, does not go on or turn clear- thats why its called white- lithium- grease!!!

Silicone spray is clear and good for the rubber seals of weatherstrip on the doors and sunroof, but not an actual lube for metal pieces sliding across each other

I have been wrong several times this year already , so check it out for yourself

my bad.... any "clear type" lithium silicon grease is good. I have some that is a clear-yellowy color.

lithium silicon grease spray cans are cool, but from my experience the liquid comes out thinner and doesnt last as long as the grease in a tube. GL.

clean the tracks- then apply your choice of clear yellow or white grease to the tracks
Make sure the screws for the flip up visor are tight while you are in there

I had my can of white grease so long I didnt know they made anything else!
But I live tied to a rock way back in the cave, and rarely allowed out in public except to the parts store.....got all the carb-TB and brake cleaner cans I could ever need already.
