Open the roof halfway to see how the roof window slides in the rails and inspect the rails for any debris clean if needed before lubricating. MB suggests grease part # 001989845110 (for comparison shopping, parts.com $13.80 + shipping) - cost effective lubricant http://www.autohausaz.com/search/pro...m_term=1161688 , you can also use white lithium grease but use as little as possible. Do not use WD40.

Debris getting caught in the grease is exactly why you should be picky about what you use. There's lots of dust and random grime in the air as you drive around. It will all stick to bearing grease that's just out in the wind on the roof.

Okay so white lithium grease doesn't retain these properties?
