I found some info out. Mercedes carry's some special sunroof grease but its pretty pricey. Its called Gleitpast Grease.Here is the part number # 001-989-46-51. But people are saying to email this guy rusty@mbparts.com and he can hook it up for a better price.

https://mercedessource.com/store/sun...and-pad-grease I found this Mercedes sunroof kit for about $14 dollars. But it says manual sunroofs. But I think this should be fine too.

https://mercedessource.com/store/ear...and-repair-kit here's the mercedes automatic sunroof kit. But this one is about $45 dollars I think it's worth it. It comes with all the tools to grease your sunroof. Instead of paying $500 - 1000k for a new sunroof. $45 bucks is fine for me.

Try white lithium grease. That stuff is awesome. And stays on a very long time, I have an E-320 2003, never had a problem with my sunroof. What I did have a problem with once was when it would rain my head liner and front passenger floor rub would get wet, I unclogded the drain channels on my sunroof and problem solved

People are saying don't use lithium grease because it can start getting runny on a hot day. And people say that dust sticks to it. Every where I read people say to be really careful with the stuff you use to lubricate the sunroof. I read that the special grease that mb offers prevents dust and dirt from sticking to it. HERE'S a PDF file on which parts to clean and grease on our power sunroofs. IT looks fairly easy. Just use a soft micro fiber cloth or Terry cloth to clean the rails.
