Cheers I have the same issue.. bought the car last summer. It worked fine until I painted the car. I removed the rubber / gasket that fits in the roof. I did not note if the gasket orientation,, my bad,, so now it will not fully close,, tried the lube supplied by a sunroof manufacturer helped a wee bit but looks like yours,,I plan to tackle this job, next weekend,, by that time Ill post an update.
