Sunroof Sticking
i have a 08 SS and i cleaned the crap and dirt off the sunroof seals the other day and now the sunroof seals is sticking to the body and is overworking the motors, i have sprayed PAM (to my dads consent) it worked really well for a day but then it happened again so yesterday i lubed it up with some WD40 and so far so good but i am wondering if any of you have had this problem and if you have any solutions

Clean pam and anything else you used and just use a light coating of sillicone spray.
Spray it on a rag and wipe the rubber and then also spray the rails on the roof carefully. This needs to be done once or twice a year.
Pam is not approved to work and WD40 will only attract dirt that will clog up the whole deal.
When I say light coat I mean it. A little goes a long way.

I've been using this stuff on all my weatherstripping for 20 years. And have two 24 year old cars that still have the weatherstripping intact. Never sticks in cold or hot weather either.
Made by Dow Corning, it's dielectric grease made primarily of silicone with suspension agents, but made for high voltage >13kV electrical connections. I got the idea from an old GM manual that actually said to use silicone grease on the weatherstripping to retain pliability.
