sunroof shade - sliding back/forth
 

hi -
The fabric sunroof shade slides back and forth
as we stop & accelerate.
The fabric is smooth & slippery along the metal rails,
and it just slides open & closed as we stop & start -

Any suggestions as to what to put on the rails
to create some permanent (but not damaging) friction...

hmm.. You might be able to smoosh the rail a bit
or there might be a couple of screws that allow for adjustment.

I can't think of anything you can put on fabric that
will both make it less sticky and not damage or stain it.
