WA Properly Cleaning Sunroof on 88'
Since I got my 88' GXL, the sunroof has never been able to function without putting a bit of pressure upwards on the sunroof to get it to unlatch from it's resting position. Is there a proper way to clean the rails or some other method that might help the sunroof open normally?

i've never pulled the whole thing to clean it, although i have had good luck with the Shin Etsu grease. Its is magic stuff, Honda uses it on everything
its Honda part number 08798-9013. i slobbered it on the sunroof and it works on its own now.
