Help and advice needed guys.

Today my leccy sunroof developed a fault in that it will only open on tilt about 0.5". Closes OK with a good thump as it should and also operates correctly, if a bit slowly, on slide.

Motor going?
Runners need greasing?

Any ideas fellas?

Come on guys, I know a sunroof isn't as interesting as engine or suspension mods, but it is an e30 and someone must have come across the problem before. :(

maybe a combination of dry runners/cables or the motors a bit tired

open the sunroof right back and clean/re grease up what you can get to, see if that makes a difference
