there is something obstructing the pathway, make sure there is no debris. you can 'reset' it by holding it in the open or closed position for a few seconds to hear a click and try again.

if you can open it fully manually, maybe you just need to reset the stop points for the sunroof....

Happens from time to time on mine. Just get the sunroof all the way open and hold for a few seconds. Then close it and hold for a few seconds. It should work fine after that.

Exactly. Hold the switch like you're still trying to open it for about 7 seconds once it's all the way open. Then close and hold the switch again like you're still trying to close it. If that doesn't work then maybe it really is a faulty part.
