How do I clean the sun roof seal?

If your power sun roof is having a hard time opening or closing, or is making strange noises while doing so, it’s a good idea to clean it. This will increase the health and life of your sun roof. To clean the sun roof, open it all the way, and remove any visible debris. Then clean the seal with a soft, damp cloth, and a little bit of mild soap.
