Sticky roof tips?

Hi all

Any tips on what (and where) to apply to minimise the sticky roof problem? 
Mine is opening but I can definitely sense a moment of stress on the motor/mechanism as it tries to overcome the sticky seal above the windscreen. I tend to manually give it a hand (push) but I'm sure some of you will have a wonderful magic solution to reduce the stickiness. WD40? Furniture Polish? Glass cleaner?
What has worked best for you?

Thanks

Hi Kacey...without a doubt the best solution that I have found is a good smear of silicone grease along all the rubber seals...especially the area along the rubbers above the windscreen.
Costs about £5 a tube, but will last for ages, and is also good for door locks and hinges.

That's good enough for me. Ordered from Amazon, £4.99 just as you said.
Many thanks

No worries

A little push is good enough for me, saves £4.99!

Ah yes.....but after a prolonged period of the roof not being opened, you risk tearing the rubbers above the windscreen.
£4.99 for a tube that'll last years is much cheaper than sourcing new rubbers mate

‘Prolonged period of the roof not being opened’ ?

I don’t understand what you mean!!

@knebby yours probably won't close or maybe you took them off....
