Default I believe Audi has a special grease listed just for that application, and I wouldnt use anything...

else other than that. Back when I did VW/Audi repair, the shop I worked with had that stuff. They had seen too many sunroofs goofed up and gunked up by using the wrong stuff.

Was this as a result of the glass not closing uniformly? I.e. - when in the rear up position would the front leading edge **** sidewise when the closing began?

probably not since it's recommend to be done regularly. almost any moving part needs to be re-lubed.
