Sunroof trouble
Just happened. I close the sun roof. It swings to one side (passenger side)when I close it. The back end tilt only goes up on the driver's side. Any repair advice? Thanks for your help.
Mine did this, #18 on mine was broken.

What I did was get someone to open it while I positioned the sunroof (just pushing on it) to get it into place to be able to slide it open. When I got it open I found a screw was missing and the piece was broken. The sunroof would open past the bracket, but it wouldnt run back over it to open because it would lift up at the end when the sunroof was closed. End result was it wouldnt open properly, just lifted the sunroof at one corner.
Get it open and have a look at the screws/brackets/clips along the roof, see if anything is damaged.
