My sunroof recently started to creak when going to tilt in the last centimeter or two of motion. It doesn't sound good.

I searched, but all I found was to clean/lube the slides. I don't think this will help the tilt motion much. Does anyone know how to lube the tilt slides (if such a thing exists)?

this might sound ghetto but i use armor all (the same one i use to clean the dash)
i spray it on a rag and apply it to the rubber seals on the sunroof i wont hear it creak for months

Easy fix, make sure every inch is clean then wipe off all the mechanism with WD40.

Are you talking about the tracks that go front to back? I will try this tomorrow, provided my bronchitis doesn't kick my ****

I've got white lithium grease. I treat all the rubber seals on my car with gummi pfledge once every month or two, including the sunroof.

get some silicone lubricant spray or grease, mine did the same thing and it is fine now. Put it on the rubber lining of the sun roof glass and the body.
