Pano Roof Stuck
so on my way back on the freeway tonight, i had my sunroof open. go to close it to make a phone call and starts making this funny noise and now it won't close all the way. it's stops with about 2 inches open, but let's me close the cover 
i don't think there is anything stuck in the rails (but could be wrong) and the motor still works since when i open it it's fine, but when i start closing it, it makes some weird clicking noise and won't close all the way.

Well this morning, after letting it sit overnight, i opened it a little and was able to close it all the way (or so it seems visually) and it makes this clanking noise if you hold the close button also, it won't let me close the cover now. so idk, i'm just going to take it to my indy shop when i get the chance.

Pano Roof Stuck
Hey gaazmon,
I experienced this issue several months ago. My issue was the black levers/arms attached just beneath the pana roof tracks had snap away and/or had broken restricting full operation of the roof. These track arm levers each have a plastic black cover over each lever and appears to become dry and snap upwards. I unscrewed the (2) screws holding the track arms in place and repaired by securing small plastic ties around each lever arm and resecured them by screwing them back onto the track rail. If this is your issue I hope this information is helpful or you can PM me for other details.
