Nissan Repair: Sunroof squeal, screw mechanism, nissan maxima

Question
The sunroof on my 1999 Nissan Maxima will occasionally squeal when at it's limit of travel opening or closing or when raising the back of the glass.  I'm sure this is a lubrication problem of some kind, but I cannot find the motor or screw mechanism where this takes place to put on some grease or oil.  Can you enlighten me how and where to libricate before it becomes a real problem?

Thanks.


Answer
Don,

This is a pain to do.  You need to remove the headliner and you can access everything.  To remove the headliner you have to remove the visors and the trim around the sunroof and all the trim on the sides and then drop it down. You have to be really careful not to damage it.  No need to remove it from the car just to let it down to get to the motor and tracks.
