Sunroof opening slow, any ideas?

Hi everyone, hoping to get my first AMG in a couple of months. The one I'm looking at is in mint condition but the sun roof opened very slowly. Could this be from lack of cleaning and lubrication? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and hoping to hear the cold start up in MY garage soon!

Is it Pano or traditional sunroof? Where is the car located? I don't own a 2013, but it seems odd that it would be having issues already.

A Google of C63 AMG sunroof came back with a lot of videos and posts of how clean/lubricate the tracks. Have you opened it and inspected the tracks?

Come to think of it I haven't opened my sunroof up on my 09 yet. I know this is dumb, but I'm worried that if I use it too much it will get slow as well, so I never use it.

I'm in the belief that if you don't use it at all it would get slow or quit working ("use it or lose it"?).
Mine was slow and made weird noises when I first got the car. It seemed to work smoother, faster and quieter after a few weeks of using it.
