Sunroof servicing/lubricating

[niallain]

Anyone had any experience of lubricating the sunroof or getting it serviced on a MK3?

Mines starting to judder a bit when opening&closing so seems like it needs to be lubricated, but I seem to recall seeing something stupid that SEAT charge £200+ for this!
Can't find that information anywhere now though

I'm also interested in this. Got the panoramic roof and it's started to sometimes bouceback when closing from tilt

I posted about this...SEAT Manchester quoted me £199 for a sunroof service as part of their advisory - see photo. Mind you they also quoted me £209 for a diff service and then denied the car even has a diff when I tried to book it in 6 months later.
The roof seems fine so I haven’t had it done, got the diff done for a more reasonable price elsewhere.

£199 to grease a sunroof!!!

Surely this is something you could do yourself. There must be plenty of info and help in this forum, Google or YouTube.

See page 51 for the sunroof service procedure:

Seems a bit excessive to clean it with a cotton bud and grease the tracks / mechanism. Although I don't know what main dealer prices are these days. I heard about £90/hour. But thought it was going up.

A general rule is to spray once every 6 months the plastic/rubber and mechanism of the sunroof with silicone spray. Mind you it should be done during neutral temperatures, not below 10C not over 30C.

What products are you people using to grease the mechanism and rubber seal?

My local VW service centre use the recommended Krytox oil VW part number G052172A1. It's about £18 for a small bottle of eBay. I've not used it myself, I just use silicone oil.
