Sunroof help

So, long story short I've got my sunroof cable in the tube and the sunroof back in the car, but the sunroof won't pull straight. If I leave the screws on the rear alignment sliders and the black cross brace loose, it works fine, but as soon as I tighten things up it wants to pull the right side back before the left (and push the right side forward before the left). Ideas?

Well, with the bolts loose, I slid it back as far as I could and still have access to the bolts, then tightened them with the sunroof still retracted, and that seems to have more or less worked.

Do you feel comfortable with this adjustment? Or do you feel it isn't quite right?

I'm asking, because I suspect mine might need some work in the near future.

Uh, I think it's like 98%, not 100%. It works, but I've left the headliner off for now to see if I can figure out any further adjustment.

What is yours doing wrong?
