the sunroof is pulled back and forth by cables on pulleys. i have never seen them but it wouldnt be too surprising if the pulleys are plastic. so if you broke a pulley that would prob cause it to not work. and a slipping sound in the trunk where the motor is.

the only other thing is the air deflector. they typically get lazy when the car gets a bit old. cleaning and lubing everything will go a long way toward keeping these old sunroofs working.
