Doesn't go up as in doesn't try (i.e electrical fault), ot doesn't go up as in jammed (i.e. mechanical fault)?

I can hear the motor buzzing so i would imagine it's jammed or summat. Just wondering if there easy enough to strip down repair etc. :o

Mines the same. Give it a small nudge at the back edge while the motors whirring and it normally goes up. Must need lubrication...

Thought I'd replied to this already.
You need to take the sunroof panel out to see what's happening,
Easy job. Do a search to see how.
Beware of very sharp edges on the two stainless steel guides down each side of the roof if you need to remove them.
