I was told not to use anything but the MB sunroof grease.....clean the rails and other parts with alcohol only then apply the grease. You can get the grease in a small plastic container for much less than the dealer package, about $10 I think. Just google "Mercedes sunroof grease". The problem is that WD40 or lithium grease does hold dirt which makes problems for the roof.
Not even sure where the tube you are mentioning is for the sunroof? Thanks for the advice on the grease. I find it hard to believe that Mercedes has created a type of grease that doesn't attract dirt and is not available at the local parts store as a generic brand. Is that really the case? Is it similar to the grease for mountain bike chains and gears (white lightening or clean ride) that supposedly attracts less dirt? It is more of dry wax or film than a grease. Thanks for the advice.
