Power sunroofs are a fantastic feature in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, offering open-air enjoyment. However, these complex systems are prone to failure if not properly maintained. One of the most critical aspects of sunroof maintenance is regular lubrication, and using the correct Mercedes-Benz sunroof grease is paramount to preventing costly repairs.
Neglecting sunroof lubrication in your Mercedes-Benz can lead to a cascade of problems as your vehicle ages. We frequently see issues like stripped sunroof motor gears, damaged cable threads, bent or broken components, worn felt pads, damaged or missing rollers, and even burned-out sunroof motors. These failures are almost always directly linked to insufficient cleaning and lubrication of the sunroof tracks and mechanisms.
Using the specifically formulated Mercedes-Benz sunroof grease is crucial. This factory grease is uniquely designed to properly lubricate the delicate felt feet and plastic slides within your sunroof system. Using generic grease can lead to improper lubrication, material degradation, and ultimately, system failure.
This kit includes a small container of genuine Mercedes-Benz factory sunroof track grease, sufficient for lubricating one or possibly two sunroofs. To aid in precise application, we include a modified curved tip syringe, perfect for reaching tight spots and delivering the right amount of grease to the tracks. An acid brush is also provided to evenly spread the grease within the tracks, ensuring thorough coverage. Finally, a pair of nitrile gloves are included to keep your hands clean during the application process.

This manual contains specific information not found elsewhere, making it an invaluable resource for DIY maintenance. For visual learners, a dedicated sunroof video is also available online, demonstrating the lubrication process.
Regular maintenance with genuine Mercedes-Benz sunroof grease is a small investment that can save you from significant repair bills down the line. Protect your Mercedes-Benz sunroof and ensure its smooth operation for years to come by using the correct lubrication and following recommended maintenance procedures.
