One of my jobs is a Scuba Equipment Repair Technician. My dive shop uses an o-ring lubricant from the company linked below. IMHO the make the best on the market and I have used others. They company makes lubricants for many other applications automotive, marine, etc. While I have not used any of their other products, I would definitly try them based on my experience with their product that I use.

Ian, you are looking for small bottle of 000-989-84-51, correct? Not the sunroof Gleitpaste? I've not yet seen a substitute for the small bottle.
Correct, or some small partial amount sold in a small baggie ... and not talking about MJ!
Although I need to get a tub of gleit too.
I listed my price above.Bump for Magic Paste. Someone sell me an Original 3.5 OZ Jar.
So besides some interior vinyl and squeaks, rattles, etc, what is the silicone paste (not gleitpaste) used for?
Could someone make up two tables/matrices of what should go where on the car regardless of each lubricant's availability?
Something like:
Gleitpaste 0019894651
Silicone paste 0009898451
Napa Syl-Glide
Shin Etsu G30M
Rubber lubricant 0009893660
And one table/matrix showing what is designed specifically to be used on:
And a second table/matrix showing what could be used on a substitute basis:
- Sunroof tracks
- Door seals (trunk seals, hood seals)
- Door strikers/latches, hood and trunk strikers/latches
- Window felt tracks
- Window regulator contact points
- Interior places that creak (where sun visor touches front headliner
= where a pillar cover touches headliner
= where b pillar bottom plastic cover meets bottom of b pillar cover
= where b pillar cover touches headliner
= where c pillar cover touches headliner
= where front seat lower side covers touch side of seat bottom
= where door panels' black plastic pegs touch where they fit into the door skin's square holes
= where the door panels' arm rest bases touch the door panel where they mount
= where the door panels' storage pockets touch the door panel where they mount
= where the side wooden edges of the shifter console wood panel touch the inside walls of the center console
= where the front seat buckle (female portion) touch the plastic cover over it
= part where front and back seats butt part meets the backrest part (strip of cloth there for that purpose or not) touch each other
= sunroof motor gears
= antenna motor gears

This is the best. Is there any lower cost replacement such as Silicone grease or Mobie 1 synthetic grease?
thank you.
great information here! have you found any non-mercedes lower cost substitute grease products that we can use and get easily?
for example, is generic silicon paste the same?
appreciate the information! Mercedes sunroof grease is crazy expensive but i guess its the best. I wonder what the grease really consists of. Is it special or is it just silicone grease?

#$5k? I still dream of having a bottle of this one day that I can place and immediately lose on my shelf of (too many) MB special lubricantsHello Gentlemen
... while searching for white grease (paste type) in my parts shed, I found this (pictures attached)
from my research it seems its lithium based and Benz repackaged. still not 100% sure but i was searching around online and a guy in benz forum mentioned this with strong certainty.
@yao500e, the answer about the content in the MB silicon paste is probably in this thread already. Member @Lioninstreet did a good research on this back in 2018, it starts in post #63:

MB Naperville has the WonderGleitpaste for $53 bucks.

It's MB's "rubber lubricant" and is intended to alleviate squeaking and other friction-related noises on rubber seals. Applications could be sunroof-seals, Vario-roof seals on SLKs and SLs, and the like. It also helps keep rubber conditioned and flexible, though there are certainly other products for this that work well.
My problem with this lube is that it is expensive as I'll get out [$53 USD MSRP].
Cheers,
Gerry
Is there an MSDS for this product? I've been trying to compare similar (appearing) lubes from some of ze other Germans.
000-989-36-60
I shared this thread with my son who is the lead mechanic on the Porsche 963 race cars. He has personally assembled the vast majority of the 963 Porsches running at this time.He uses Autol Top 2000 SUPER-LONGTIME FETT and swears by it. He worked at the Weisach development center in Germany as they developed the car and they had access to all of the best stuff. This is available for about 35 USD FOR 500 ml tube.
Where are you guys using this type of product exactly? Interior squeaks/rattles or?
I have never seen an MSDS for this, but it is an MB "rubber lubricant" that has a lot of various uses, including lubricating sunroof seals, convertible tops, door seals, and other things. MB specifies it for lubricating the ashtray mechanism in the W211, if there is a rubbing noise in that area.
MSRP of $73, but my local dealer will sell it for $55.
