[QUOTE="Donmatteo, post: 2018911, member: 28245"] So. Lots to unpack here. You don't need to pop off the covers to lub the track for the glass. You simply need to open it up and lube the track. Cycle it open and close it 3-5 times. While it's open, put some lube on your finger and run it around the outside of the moonroof on the rubber trim focusing on the side where the two glass panels meet. The roof only breaks when the plastic brackets break from lack of lubricant or there is so much dirt between the moonroof glass and the glass panel that it sticks closed. That's why it's recommended to open to vent and then opening the roof. The rubber trim around the glass is 100% cosmetic. It provides no waterproofing. That is why there are drain holes UNDER the glass between the body and the actual seals. It's to make the gap between the glass and body closer since you don't want glass touching the body. You can see the actual waterproofing when you open the moonroof. The seals are what the glass sits on, not what's around the outside of the glass. You have no issues or problem with your glass trim. it's cosmetic. When people say their roof leaks, it's 100% from clogged drains or pinched drains from when they were installed. It has nothing to do with the rubber trim surrounding the glass. [/QUOTE]
