sunroof is closing verrry slow

where exactly can i look/lube for this? it opens mor quickly and smoothly than closing, slows down drastically about halfway , i help it along thru there as i don't want to exacerbate problem, would like to use it more but have to fix this,

GatorTT is infamous around these parts
Try white lithium grease on just the tracks without pulling the headliner.

I have same issue. I track my car and had an off track experience in spring where a ton of fine dirt engulfed the car and I think some might have snuck into the sun roof bc since then it has been hard to open like yours.

I kinda seems like it grinds a tad and is no longer smooth. The problem is that I have a roll bar and my p tech said he could not pull off the headliner with out removing the bar so I am kinda stuck for now as I do not want to go through that headache of pulling seats and bar out just for the sunroof that I rarely ever use.

I might try the white grease I am just scared that if it opens it might get stuck and not close. I think there is a manual way to close it though.
