Whats wrong with it? lack of use is the main cause of sun roof failures.

Nothing wrong with it yet but I think i can hear struggle some of the times, I appreciate it's going to need lubrication but I wanted to make sure to get it right as changing of one the motor's or mechanisms is really difficult, more importantly, hard to find a sunroof specialist and will have to take her into a stealer.

Lithium grease the sliders and moving parts that you can see.. that will probably help and keep things safe

If its still "slow" then look into finding someone, but mine was like this and all i did was WD40 it use the sunroof loads till it "freed" up and then lithium greased it (carefully as its messy) and its been fine since.
