What type lubrication?

[FloridaSun]

Any suggestions about what I should use to lubricate the hinges and moving parts on the hard top convertible on a 2012 VW eos? Or not worry about it if is working properly. It also appears you would lubricate quickly while it is going through a cycle so lub'ing would have to be quick! Thanks.

Silicone or lithium grease is best though check in your car manufacture manual/go to the dealer to find out what lubrication is best

No...Don't try to lube anything while it's moving!! :eek:

•Most any 3-in-One/"sewing-machine-oil" types of lube,
will be fine to use on the metal components.

I'm not too sure about the hinges.

Would you guys use similar type stuff for a pano roof. I've been needing to do it my VW Tiguan, but just haven't gotten around to finding out what would be best use. Thanks.
