Update

(Thanks for all the help on this BTW)

The panel is moving back and forth. I removed the inside panel and figured out how to remove it. The underside of the sunroof mechanicals now exposed.

I lubed everything and it seems to operate well going forwards and back with three observations:

1. It does sound like it is scratchy sliding forwards and back. Does indicate dirty rails? If so how would one go about cleaning them?

2. The overhead switch doesn't work exactly how one would expect: Sometimes when the roof is open, by pushing the switch up the roof will close but not by pushing the switch forward. Is this a setting/adjustment?

The motor is heard whirring when the above occurs but the panel doesn't move. Does this mean the clutch needs to be adjusted?

3. On the driver's side, when after the roof is tilted and it is brought down it slams. I peeked up underneath and noticed one of the tilt pieces is broken. Can these individual pieces be replace? Easily.

Thanks again for all the help on this .... hopefully it will help others.
