Smile Sunroof slider won't go all the way back

Hello on my 1999 W140 with only 10K miles my sunroof slider portion will not go back more than about 3 inches and seems like it is hitting something because the fabric is wrinkled in the back please see the attached photo. Any ideas? I do not want to force it. Motor etc all work, the car is pretty much a time capsule.

Hi, you probably have the adhesive on the liner/cover failing, has just begun to hang down from the back edge and start catching on drive. Here's a great write up on complete fix:

Let me know if you want to sell, I can't believe such low miles!
