Default Grease the sunroof rails!

Just a friendly reminder to all those with sunroofs.
Now that summer is here, grease the sunroof rails with white lithium grease so that your sunroof doesn't get stuck.

While you are up there, check the drain holes and make sure they are not clogged, otherwise your car interior can get wet when it rains.

I have lithium grease spray, would that do the trick? And what's the easiest way to check the drains?

Use RadioShack Contact Cleaner on the switch.
