How to lubricate panoramic sunroof
Although I have the leaking sunroof issue, this post isn't about that
My sunroof opened and closed ok but I noticed that when it was closing about 3/4 way, it would start vibrating and seem to struggle a little, but it still ended up closing ok. So, I thought maybe I should lubricate it. I read a few suggestsions elsewhere to use a white lithium grease spray. I did that and sprayed in the channesl where it appears there is like a long drive screw on both sides. To my surprise, this appeared to make it worse. It now seems to vibrate and struggle more when closing and I can even here it make a little noise when it is opening that wasn't there before I sprayed in the lubricant. Baffled on how this made it worse. Any ideas? Did I use the wrong lubricant? Is there a specific method documented by Audi on how to lubricate it appropriately (maybe should have asked that before doing this)?

Just found the below procedure in a TSB when searching on this topic in another forum.
Q5 / Audi Q7:
1. Lubricate the seals with special lubricating paste G 052 141 A2.
Tip: No parts have to be removed. It is only necessary to completely open the
sunroof panel.
2. Lubricate the mechanism components with lubricating paste G 055 751 A2
