Electric Sunroof Problem/Advice

I have a problem with the Electric Sunroof on my Sport

It does not slide open evenly

It is able to tilt open

But, when the tilt is closed - the passenger side sits flush, and the drivers side dips lower.

I've been told that the sunroof sits on a track & one side has come off.

I've read a thread in the Technical Help Forum on someone who had the same problem, but I not keen on fixing this myself.

Can anyone recommend a garage or fitter they know who's capable of fixing this problem.

I live in Essex, close to London, so ideally in this area.

Remove the motor and if you use a flat bladed screwdriver you can manipulate the sunroof back into position.
Slowly move the mechanism(where the gear on the motor goes) till the panel is in the correct position and then refit the motor.
Had to do this in my old tourer when I carried out a manual to electric conversion as I moved one of the mechs when removing the old manal system
Hope that makes some sense.
