What type and where to buy grease for sunroof?

[DunePearlEdge]

I have a 2007 edge with the BAMR roof. It seems to be slowing down when closing it. What type of grease should be added to the sunroof roller track and where can I buy it?

Hey DunePearlEdge,

 

If you're still looking for a product, head over to Ford Parts and enter your VIN. You'll find what you're looking for.

I member of our facebook group actually works at Oakville Assembly. He spoke directly to the manufacturer of the Vista Roof panel. Its supposed to be a dry system, no grease or lube. " no lube at all. Track must be clean of grit and dry. What you also need to do is check side of track and see if it needs adjusting. Track may be tight and can be loosened and opened up a bit. Open roof and look inside of track. You will see bolts holding track. Just crack bolt,don't loosen off to much. Take a screw driver and lightly tap track over slightly. Tighten bolt repeat on next 3 bolts!"

Service manual says ok to use silicone spray. Don't use anything heavier like chassis grease or it will dry out and gum.

I like to wipe my rails down with alcohol to get squeaky clean, then silicone.

Ive had the dealer lube the tracks twice. In the year and a half Ive owned my Edge. The silicone spray they use just doesnt last. A few months back I cleaned the tracks out and used some lithium grease on the metal tracks along with Dielectrice grease on plastic and rubber areas. The reason I went this route is because the roof was getting stuck open. I plan on doing a couple cleanings and lube jobs each year to keep dirt out.
