Have you taken it apart recently ?
If so are you sure the motor was set to the same point as the roof when it went back together.
If it's just stopped working for no reason then park the car in the shade and try it once it's cooled down. I've had a similar problem where it's slightly out of alignment and starts to stick when it gets hot.
A little tweek of the torx screws sorts it out.

Jhonno,
If you want it looked at, I'm a dab hand with the sunroof mechanism. I've had the complete system (runners, cables the lot) out of my car, so know how it goes back and should be setup etc.
It's actually fairly simple when you understand how it works.
Cheers,
Ian.

The sunroof seals loose their flexibility over time and can cause the sunroof to get stuck when trying to open in the slide mode.
