Sunroof issues

[MichaelF]

Hello everyone. I own a 2005 (dec) IS250. I was wondering if someone else has had an issue with their sunroof (if applicable). For a while now it won’t close - without a lot of effort. It gets close to closing and then maybe catches something and then retracts. I dare not to open it again as it has happened the last couple of times and really is a pain to get it closed. Thank you.

When was it last serviced, cleaned and lubricated?

[MichaelF]

Yeah, good question. I’ve had it for 2 and a half years (my first car) and the sunroof hasn’t been serviced since then, I assume it hasn’t been for a long long time. I’ve just ordered summer tyres and have to replace a wheel arch liner, so will ask them to service and lubricate it.

And did that do the trick?

Need to keep the runners clean and greased - no issue with mine for 3 years
