What maintenance do Toyota Sunroofs require (specifically, the one in the '05 Avalon), if any.

Thanks.

I had a sunroof on my '90 4Runner and didn't do anything to it for the 9 years I owned the vehicle, except cleaning the glass. Had one on my '99 4Runner too and didn't do anything on that one either. Neither one ever leaked or had a problem or opening/closing. I just hope I have the same good luck with the one on my '06 Tundra DoubleCab.

Hey,

Our '90 4-Runner's s/r is still cranking away after 16 years. All I did was ask them to lube it when we had maintenance done to it....... JB

you have to be careful if you lube and what you use. don't want to attract dust and dirt to the mechanism. maybe a light silicone or teflon would work well. i also use some rubber or vinyl protectant on the seal to keep it pliable and sealing well.
