    Is it okay to lube up the tracking for your Pano? for some reason every time i open the pano its not smooth when i first got it in 2010 now its kind of bumpy. so this is a 2 part question

    1. Should i lube the tracking?

    2.What type of lube should i use grease for the tracking or is there a special type of lube like KY

    VW says to use grease# G000 450 02. Don't know what that is, but in general if I lube something that might attract dust and dirt I like to use White Lightning from the bike shop. It is a wax based lube that when dry does not attract dirt.

    Shawng how would this be done? Any suggestion? By just looking at it it kind of hard to know where to apply the grease or "white lightning". I would personally remove the old dirty grease before but how?

    There is a TSB for the sun roof, and there are other lubes listed for the gaskets. Unfortunately I cannot post the TSB as it violates my user license for our shop software. I can tell you the TSB is outrageously complicated.
