here's my theory: my actual sunroof isn't mounted FORWARD enough with respect to the lift arm mounting point... so when the lift arms reach the point where they start to lift, the sunroof being ever so slightly out of position, catches the rear corners of the seals... but why just the corners? that's my second theory... maybe my seals have shrunk enough so the corners are being caught...

anyway, i will re-check the mounting and will try to get it just right...
