86' 300E sunroof problems

Sometimes when i open the sunroof all the way and shut it, as it shuts it slows down and sometimes stops half way. Is this a sign of a motor that is about to go, or does something just need to be lubed?

Well start by cleaning the sliding rails thoroughly with a brush and re-lubing them...A lot of times leaves and other crap start to pile up. I just did my wagon and found lots of debris. After that I believe it would be safe to say the motor may be on its way out...

This is something you might want to be pro-active with because its going to be a nightmare doing it with the roof jammed shut.
