sticky sunroof

All of a sudden my panorama roof decides not to pop up! It goes up half way then gets stuck. By goes up I mean the tilt before it slides back not the auto open half way. Anyone else? Ideas?

Your car was in the rain wasnt it

Just open and close it 100000 times and it will break free. Seems like it gets "glued" to the rubber from the water nad dirt or whatever. Happened to me a few times when its been raining and my car was dirty.

I have had my roof replaced, and it was good for 2 months before it made the pop noise again. After the pop it rattles when open like crazy.

I worry about what the roof will be like after the warranty runs out?

It was raining and the car was dirty so I'll try to open/close it a couple thousand more times!
