Sunroof Stuck

[mairenag202]

So I normally drive with the sunroof in the vent position because it compliments the look of the car and I don't have a/c. However, yesterday when I went to try to bring the sunroof to the vent position it was stuck half way. I closed it and left it alone but now it wont move at all (You can still hear the motor trying to pull). To make matters worse the left side of the sunroof stuck indented so if it were to rain the ceiling fabric of my car would get drenched which will eventually ruin it. (I live in south florida where it rains 5 out of 7 days of the week). Also if I try to move the sun roof a weird bump appears on the roof (I'll attach images so you can see). If you have any idea what I can do to fix this problem or at least make it so the sunroof is closed evenly and I won't get any leakage lmk!

sounds like it came unbolted or poped off the tracks or both

That bit poking through the roof is a big clue.

Obviously you can't perform step 1, but it doesn't need to be 2/3 the way back. You can unsnap that panel and flex it to get it out. It MUST go out through the top and not down into the car. You will ruin your sliding panel or your headliner.

But BE CAREFUL AND TAKE YOUR TIME. FOLLOW EACH STEP CAREFULLY.

Sunroof can be such a huge pain in the ass once problems begin. It can take years and/or thousands of dollars to get right again. I once bought an entire car with a blown engine so I could take out the entire sunroof assembly and replace my own.
