    Do a search for sunroof removal, there are several.
    Good luck

        mine does the same thing. Check the track to make sure no debris is lodged that will cause it to jam. Also may need to adjust the cables as they sometimes get slack and don't allow it to fully open or close. However, I have never actually attempted this fix so I can't tell you how it's done. I would do a search for sun roof adjustment more so then removal. those will most likely tell you how to take the roof off but not rectify the closing issue.

        let me know what you get.

        thanks.

            that would not cause it to jam unless pieces got stuck in the track. Has to do with adjustment if the tracks are free. The cables may need aligning. This I haven't done and don't know yet how to do.
