lol yea open sun roof then spray on paper towl and apply FTW lol not sure but dielectric grease should work too right ive seen that its used for door jams and stuff

 

Dielectric grease can attract sand and grit. You want something that is a dry lube.

 

care to elaborate further?

Any products in particular?

Honestly, about dirt and dust, I'm concerned about it, but not too concerned about the fact that I put grease on the inside of the sunroof opening. Worst case scenario, if there's grime, etc. I wipe it all out and reapply.

No worries!

 

it can be that bad i mean i clean the car at least once every 1-2 weeks so i cant see it getting that bad. and what is a dry lube

 

exactly! EVERY saturday I wash the car, so I don't see much dust, etc. getting in there.

I also clean the inside tracks of the sunroof too!

 

humm now that you mention cleaning the tracks..... i should probably do that too. do you regrease them or is there even any grees there to begin with. i asume so

 

there is grease on the inside of the tracks, but i don't touch it since it's for lubrication. I clean every other part though that doesn't have grease. Dirt build up leads to clogged drains, so I try to prevent it as much as I can.

In my 89 Saab 9000 turbo, the previous owner NEVER cleaned the track (I didn't know as it was my first car) and when I stopped hard one day when it was raining water came rushing in on me. I was shocked as hell and frightened as I didn't expect to get soaked!

 

haah yea my last car was cloged too but what would happen is the water would back up far enough that it would leak at one of the seals. needless to say in the winter there was a inch of ice on the floor

 

There's a GM grease for door seals, convertible seals, and window seals.

Then there's 303 Aerospace protectant. You apply it and wipe the excess off. It dries off very rapidly but is approved for a wide variety of rubber products even aircraft door seals.

Silicone grease and other grease products that remain "jelly-like" can attract dust/grit. When you trap this grit between the window seal and roof, it can wear out the paint.

 

but it should get that much dirt junk in there if its cleaned once twice a week thou

 

Maybe someone already said this, but read the manual?

It says in the manual that you should periodically put silicone based lubricant on all of the seals. It also said something about avoiding petroleum based lubricants if I remember right. I don't have my car with me right now but it's in there.

 

How bout this then?

exactly what i was thinking. and right out of the manual

Weatherstrip Conditioniing Weather strip lubercant, Superlube GM part # U.S 3634770 Canada 10953518 or Dielectirc sillicone grease GM part # US 12345579 canada 992887

 

That is 100% correct: use silicone grease on rubber seals

 

3634770: $46
12345579: $8.50

It looks like the silicone dielectric grease is less expensive. But like I said, it will attract sand and grit. It has to be a somewhat dry lubricant.

 

how about this stuff...

dont think it really matters what you use. ( grease or spray) just how long it will last. so long as it has silicone in it

 

Do you think lithium grease will do harm? That's what I put on my car ...
