Gentlemen-

Now, I won't hear the grinding noise anymore.  I want to convey my gratitude for the direction and continued enjoyment of an open sunroof.  Thank you for your recommendations!

Haven't seen an official recommendation from MINI, but others have recommended teflon white lithium grease (DuPont makes a spay can of this).

Over the years, the sunroof has been opended many times and weather conditions.  I am wanting to apply grease to the mechanisms\track as preventative maintenance.  Is there a MINI specified product to use and amount?
