ASC sunroof on '91' XJ?

Thanks to DougW I finally resolved my issue between
my sunroof and pwr. antenna (which were both tapped
from the same fuse on the fuse panel). I tracked down
the pwr. antenna relay (which is below the glove box,
on the passenger side and behind the dash panel there
and disconnected the leads leading to the pwr. antenna.

Anyway, now that my sunroof works again but it needs two
things:

i. needs to be lubricated. Would high temp brake grease
work for this application (I have lots of high temp
brake grease)?
ii. it needs the weatherstripping replaced. Can I do this
myself if I can find a source for it? What kind of
cement/bonding agent would I want to use for this?

Thanks in advance!

Doug, you may want to consider the white lithium grease. Superior
performance in cold weather, doesn't run at high temps, and is just plain
old cleaner to have around where you can get against it. I see it commonly
on door latches, window crank/regulators, etc.

Second that. Lithium grease. sparingly and clean out the collected
dirt/hair/dust/stuff.

As for the weatherstripping and parts http://www.sunroofdoctor.com/

I've never had a car with a sunroof. To me it's just another thing
that can leak.
