At this stage I suggest that you try to completely remove, clean and
lubricate the 2 sunroof cables. I say "try" because recently when I
tried to change mine they were so rusted in that I could not remove
them without dropping the headliner and taking the entire tray out.
If yours are not completely seized in you can take them out without
dropping the sunroof, of course you will not be able to clean out the
channels that they run in but something is better than nothing.
Good Luck,
John

Time to scrape off the rust and get some Rustoleum. The lesson here is
to actually open the sunroof occasionally to catch a problem before it
becomes a big job.

What lubricant should I use to improve it?
