Panoramic Sunroof Lube?
I'm doing some routine maintence on my X5 with the Pano Sunroof. It seems to run ok at the moment but I wish to clean out the tracks and drains so after this I want to clean and re-lube the tracks. I can't seem to find much information about which lube is suitable for the X5 sunroof. On my old Benz I just used white lithium grease and that worked ok. I've heard that an industrial grade clear silicone grease is suitable. Would any of these work ok? Rocol Silicone Grease Rubber O Ring Valve Lubricant 120G RY421515 | eBay JET Lube 73560 DM Dielectric Silicone Grease 5 3 OZ Squeeze Tube Translucent | eBay Also, does anybody have a guide on how to do it? I'm not 100% sure on which parts need greasing. I can see the tracks, however i'm sure there is more to the story!

Any good silicon grease will do (BMW recommend it), but some owners like to use white lithium grease.
Apply grease to the track grooves with a small artist paintbrush or cotton swab. Make sure the tracks are nice & clean before applying the lube, though.

I clean everything with alcohol, then apply a light coat of lithium grease. Also grease door/hood/tailgate hinges, door striker pivot pins, wiper pivot arms/shaft bushings, steering shaft joints, hood/tailgate latch mechanisms, at least once a year.

Just a quick update.
Ended up using some of this stuff here: https://www.masters.com.au/product/9...Grease-LM10302 Just used a soft brush to lubricate all of the tracks and movable parts I could see up there. Hopefully it holds out ok. If this fails i'll go and buy some lithium grease spray. Thanks for the tips guys!
