Sunroof Slides Grease?

Postby robznet » Sat Jan 19, 2008 11:39 am

Hi all

Does anyone know what the correct grease is for the sunroof slides? Had a quick search but didn't come up with much to do with grease.

I presume any silicone based grease would do the job, but I know someone on here will know better than me!

The demands on the grease are very low and silicone is about the cleanest you can get so I would suggest you are bang on. :cool:

I'm sure that I heard mention that it needs to be a certain grease so that it doesn't affect some of the plastics / runners but I can't remember what sort. You might be better hanging on until someone can give you a definite answer, no offence to cyclonebri1 :wink:

Silicone grease is the one. Its the safest, most inert substance available. You could actually eat it, it won't eat you or plastic.

We use it as a food safe lubricant and for all instances were resistance to interaction with other materials is a consideration. I believe it is also used for "implants" :cool: :roll: due to its safe nature.
