I need an advise.
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/87791/sunroof_mechanism_0031.jpg"></center><p>The sunroof was completly dirty as the drains were clogged, so I had to wash it very well prior assemble it.
Now I have a doubt;
- Do I lube the cables, or not? If yes, what should I use to lube them?

I can only guess...
I would prefer a 'dry' lube - i.e. graphite - as grease/oil will collect crud in such an open place.
Sorry - I have never had to dig into one.
PS - love the Betty gif.

I looked in the Bentley, but it has nothing to say about lubing the cables...
I think I would use something like <a href="http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/auto_marine_aero/aerospace/node_GS47T4DJP4be/root_GST1T4S9TCgv/vroot_GSNNJ6NQDKge/gvel_XXKTJVXMKNgl/theme_us_aerospace_3_0/command_AbcPageHandler/output_html">this 3M dry silicone spray</a>. I have never had good luck with graphite lube for anything.
