When I open the sunroof it seems to me that its moving very slow, like its having a problem to open. When I go to close it I have to help it close with my hand because it doesn't have enough power to close by itself.

Do you guys think that maybe the track is dirty or my motor is going to die soon? Where can I go to see a schematic of the sunroof so I can take it apart and fix it?
 
There isn't much to take apart. I'm not sure about lubing the track, but the motor is above the access panel in the rear seat header. It pops out with some pressure. The motor then has a 90 degree gear drive attached to it with a drive gear sticking out. This slides into a gearbox that drives the glass.
 
Yes. you can lube the screw track (i use tef-gel kills rust and stays on) . You have to take track out to do it properly. Two screws off the motor and it slides right out the roof window.
