I would try to put some grease on there. Mine gets stuck really bad when I try to open it but it's fin when I close it. :Shurg:

you definitaly dont wanna spray WD 40 on something you want to lube up. WD 40 is a degreaser and cleaner. You should rather use something like white lithium grease. I use this on mine when it starts to get slow.

or you can use Honda silicon spray, it works great

yeah..same prob for me, I used autozone white lith. grease works great, just have to keep doing it every 6 mos or so.

The book of instructions says SUNROOF but I thought you USA people called it moonroof , hence my sun/moon description.

i thought a sun roof was one made of glass where you can see throught it and moonroof was one that was painted the same color of the car and made of metal.
correct me if i am wrong

YOU'RE WRONG! hahaha... j/p... i believe a sunroof is just a rectangular peice of your roof that only tilts... and a moonroof is a rectangular piece of glass that slides open and tilts... NOW, correct ME if I'M wrong...

BTW: CAMAGE, what did u use? i have '01 prelude and all year around i use the moonroof... A LOT... just for future reference when my **** begins to slide slowly

i think it's the other way.. moonroof = metal, sunroof = glass

I usud an aviation brand silicone spray called LPS3.

That's what I used to think but I looked into it

Sunroof = all metal
Moonroof = glass

Don't know why but that's how it is...

i had the same problem with my 97, i took it to Honda (this was back when i didn't know ****) and asked them if it needed a new motor, they said no, and just used some funky named grease on it, worked great, it needs it again, but i've got a friend that's an advisor there, he can hook me up

silver97prelude

please let me know what kind of grease, mine is slow also, sometimes actually stops, i just assumed it was my pullies and/or system.

call you Honda dealer, they use if for windows and sunroofs, it's called shniet-Zu grease or something wierd liker that
