I think the grease you actually need is an expensive stuff called Krytox. Its used in a number of German cars and don't think VX/Opel in Germany where the cars were made would be any different. You can get it as an oil or grease. The muts nuts for rubber seals.

I found some in a double glazing shop ( in a long tube for a gun) for securing the rubber seals to the window frames, when they fit them in. but most car parts shop usually have the 12g tubes in.

You can't say that here! There's bound to be some Vauxhall only potion made from powdered unicorn horn and elf toenail clippings, blended with virgin's blood, mixed by the Wicked Witch of the North in a cloud city, that only costs £4908 on TC

Just dragging this up, as seal is working better now.

But it just randomly opened the other day while driving along  :-\

Done a search but struggling to find previous topics, but know it has been discussed.

Before ripping the Sunroof apart I would suggest a Full Recycle in every Postilion whist holding the Button down for at least 5 seconds when Parked in each Position, may not cure the Disk Cleaning problem if it is that, but could solve a simple needs a reset issue..
