Never had that problem with my sunroof, and I have 63K on the car.

Hmm, can u "locate" the source of the noise ? is it both sides or just 1 side ?

Hi mate!..

Great vid...

At the end I can see where you have 'greased' it up...

Sorry to ask a lame question but what are you using for grease, I use what we call here Vaseline, usually for personal hygiene or lubrication.

I have not had this noise, but I did use Vaseline and have not had any issues... yet..

All I can suggest is you look at the brand/type of clear/white grease, perhaps check to make sure there is no grit of leaf matter stuck between runners and guides..

I will try and see if I can dig out some official info for you from Mazda.

I believe I used Snap-On grease, it was clear/slightly yellow... I will double check the runners once more.
