OSS "Pong" removed

Worried that the OSS system in my car is relatively old from 2005 and the service history shows no indication of attention to the roof, this got me thinking.

I dont open the roof in winter figuring any grease would be quite inflexible with the cold, we get -20 here. Summer, I use it a fair bit and there was always a "pong" noice when the second panel started to move.

Thinking this was sticking and potentially causing extra load on the mechanism, I set about with the silicon to give all the rubbers a good cleaning. I put silicon on the glass and rubbers and the roof now works silently, even on the second panel.

Cheap, easy and effective (until someone tells me I will rot the rubber using silicon...)

Hope this helps
