What type lubrication?
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.

Re: What type lubrication?
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!!
*See Below
•Most any 3-in-One/"sewing-machine-oil" types of lube,
will be fine to use on the metal components.
________________________________________________
•It's best to keep the seals cleaned and lubed!
-Here's a: "How To Lube The Seals"...that explains how to *safely stop the top*...at various locations:

•You can buy this VW/OEM approved lube,
Part number G 052 172.A1...
-at the above "How-To"-Vendor's web site.
-Or...Type this into your browser:

Read this for the seals: VWVortex.com - How to solve (or prevent) Eos Roof leaks
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.
