hello everyone, I noticed that when I go to open the sunroof it makes a noise like its struggling to open, but opens fine. Then when I go to close it automatically it will reach about 75% of the way and then reopen again, but if I go to close it manually by holding the switch it will close all the way. I have just noticed that when I put the tilt up I looked from behind my car and saw that the right side was lower than the left, and I saw that the plastic part holding it up on that side was broken off, does anyone know where I cna find that part, or will I have to redo the whole roof? And also, is that what is causing it to reopen everytime? Somone please help me out, thanks.

the part that is broken is called a slider.. you will have to buy a new left and right hand pieces.. kinda long to replace them..

is that part that I need called a tilt and slide mechanism? Its only broken on the right side not left. And if it is that part I had them replaced a little over a year ago.

Make sure the interior cover isn't binding in the track. These do fail regularly, but shouldn't let go that fast.
