Clean and Re-Grease Sunroof


Recommended Posts

I have been looking and looking, but I cannot find a step by step on how to simply clean the rails, the grease (how much), or just a walk through. I just got a 2008 edge and I have to initialize my sunroof because it stops about 6 inches short, but I would love to get that track in nice new condition.

 

If any Edge owners have any input I would love to know.

 

Thanks!

It is my understanding that you can just use a lithium grease. It can be purchased in a spray can. If you need to clean out the old stuff a little mineral spirits or brake clean on a rag should do the trick.

 

The sunroom is designed to stop about 6 inches short. That's the vent position. To close you have to press and hold the button. Annoying, but that's the way it is.

My 2011 is in for APIM replacement, and the sun roof stalling at that point. they've "lubed the rails" so when I pick it up .. I will review it with a critical eye. If they've eliminated the symptoms and not the problem I'll push for a real resolution. If they were truly successful on resolving the issue, I plan on getting the 411 on what they've done and will relay here.

Any update on this?
