How to Maintain a Sunroof?

Fully open the sunroof and gently wipe the dust off the sunroof tracks with a clean, soft cloth. Although the sunroof is part of the car window, its mechanical structure is different from that of the door windows and is much more delicate.

Having driven for over a decade, I've learned that sunroof maintenance requires attention to detail. Every week, I clean out leaves and dust from the tracks using a soft cloth and vacuum to prevent drainage hole blockages. Track lubrication is crucial—I apply specialized lubricant quarterly, avoiding regular engine oil which can cause hardening. Before the rainy season, it's essential to inspect the sealing strips and replace any cracked ones immediately to prevent leaks. In winter, always defrost ice with warm air before opening to avoid damaging the motor. Parking underground is ideal to prevent sun damage to rubber seals. Daily use should be moderate, especially closing it on bumpy roads to prevent loosening from vibrations. Following these practices ensures trouble-free operation for over ten years.
