Its probably dry, and needs a good lube. Look very closely for any small broken pieces of plastic, but beware, sunroofs on the w124/126 are amazingly complex, and difficult to work on.

I had a similar issue years ago, and a bit if lithium grease resolved it.

Good luck, and post some pictures when the problem is resolved.
i dont think grandma used the sunroof at all, so some lube may work. I understand how the mechanism works, and it seems as if there are adjusment screws. i wont mess with them, but i will definitly use the lube. thanks.
