My shop manual is no help, and I doubt its ever been lubed since it left ASC (company that did the conversion for Chrysler). Thanks. Eric

PS - I have a 74 Duster360 with factory sunroof, and used that on the moving parts, seemed smoother to me. And this is a manual roof, not an electric powered one. Cheers Mark

Works like its supposed to now! Thanks again for the help guys! Eric
