Been using the pano sunroof in the cooler weather and noticed last night how dirty they were with manufacturing suction cup marks on them. Crawled in the bed to clean the outside and noticed grease on the top of the cab behind the sunroof (advantage of an Ivory truck!) Quickly figured a big glob of gray grease had rolled out from the back of the sunroof track onto the cab. It had also gotten all over the top of the seal all down the driver's side.
Cleaned all that up and then opened it all the way. Easiest way to clean the outside of the front section from the bed. I then wondered, "what's the track look like?" so I crawled into the cab and stood up on the seats to look from the inside. Holy moly! They used enough grease on the pop-up wind deflector to lube an entire pano sunroof!

If you've got the pano model (not sure on the regular sunroof) you might check out how liberally they lubed everything. I'd hate to get a glob of that on my leather! I very carefullly cleaned all the excess off making sure not to drop any. Yes, there was more than enough to drop off your rag and right into ventilated seat holes...
 
When I saw your title, I thought to myself... There's a dash warning for sunroof lube? Read the manual cover to cover and don't remember seeing that... LOL

That's pretty funny. Man, I hate it when I think I bought the loaded vehicle and then find out there's features I didn't get!
