pano sunroof fix - anyone tried this?

"open the sunshade all the way and vent the 2 sheets of glass.. Then climb in the back seat and look at the middle of the 2nd smaller (rear) panel on either side (driver and passenger sides of the car).. You will see a single torx screw on each side.. Unscrew both of those screws .. Those screws hold the panel guide in the open or vented position. Now get out of the car and give the panel a firm push downward.. It will close down.. That's it.. The entire sunroof should now be fully functional minus the ability for the 2nd panel to vent back open"

thanks fella and you think i can get away without operating and tilting the sunroof as such as it stays stuck open and thats the issue.....so i just retract the large glass panel all the way back so as to expose the small back portion of the glass and then take out the 2 torx and done

look for the two torx here on either side of the rear glass. remove these with the window not even tilted. I did easily. BUT to just be safe, once out, I still got out of vehicle and pressed down on the glass to make sure it was seated properly. and it's worked perfectly since, thanks to X5_Rob.

Appreciate all the feedback from clockwork and spidey and all thanks, much easier fix than the other cutting clips trips etc.....

I just did mine last weekend - easiest fix ever. The torx screws are pretty easy to get to. I removed them, pushed the rear glass down and gave the tracks a good clean before spraying some silicone lube on them. One done, re initialised the system and bingo - functional sun roof again
