Default How loud should the Sunroof be?

I don't really have anything to compare mine to, so it would be great if someone could make a quick video.

Mine isn't too loud, but I have no idea what normal is, so I am kind of wondering... Opening it makes almost a grinding sound, closign it is very quiet, just an electric noise, like the windows.

Default Grinding?

Mine is quiet in both directions. My guess is that grinding is bad.

I'd try cleaning the track if i were you,there is probally sand/dirt in there causing the grinding noise. Mine is quiet both ways & come to thik of it on bavauto.com they sell a lubricant for the sunroof. It comes in a little syringe for an easier application.
