Currently I have the tilt function but the roof will not open more than about two inches. Curious as to what it might be. When viewed from above you can see the panel move almost off track, as if the right track was obstructed and the left was still free.

What components fail with the sunroofs? If I'm taking mine apart should I plan on replacing the wear components regardless? Any special tools required?

I have replaced almost all & ANY of the s/roof parts. ON the early cars the lifting angles & cables were the most common failures.
