    Question

    SPEAKING OF SUNROOFS...

    Back in March, when we had 12 straight days of 70+ degrees, I applied the spring wax and detail to mine. Because I'd heard of sunroof leaking issues on Commanders, I've been watching mine closely. Nothing spotted SO far (and it's parked outdoors, 24/7/365), but when I was detailing mine, I decided to wax (spray wax) the metal around & inside the sunroof, get all the grime out, and Armor-All the seals - just to keep everything clean & pristine.

    Was this a good idea? Or should you just let the 'gunk' build up, so as to ensure a tighter seal? What's the prevailing thought on that matter.

    Mine opens and closes just fine, FYI.

    I believe the sunroof has some sort of lithium grease installed from the factory to assist in sliding and avoid corrosion. I would avoid over cleaning the tracks in fear of removing this grease.

    I NOTED that! DIDN'T mess with the tracks - just waxing the body work and Armor-All'ing the seals!
