Rear Venting Sunroof Panel on my Pano roof opens but will not close

[love2speed]

for some reason the rear venting glass on my pano roof opens and then when I try to close it one side does not and it reopens. The only way it closed is if I get a screw driver on the one bracket sliding thing and help it along. The rest of the roof works fine??

is I remove the hex bolts will the entire glass come out so I can inspect whats happening.

I've tried lube etc.

the rear glass mechanism has failed. you will need to replace it with the repair kit depending on the production number of the sunroof frame. it is recommened to replace the front and rear at the same time. if you require the interactive 3d repair instruction, let me know.
