Default working on the sunroof

I searched the forum to see if i could find the answer but couldnt. my problem is that one side of my sunroof stays tilted up and doesnt come down or anything. when i checked it out i realized the part that runs across the groove in the sunroof was not moving on that side (stuck for some reason) while the other side worked perfectly. Anyone have any solutions.

PS I checked my subs this afternoon and fixed them... bad wiring (kinda figured i didnt blow them).
Bad news is i went in for my state inspection and passed yes... but found out i gotta change my left front control arms and tie rod.

well when i move the sunroof nob the right side moves perfectly well (up and down and even wants to slide back and completely open) but the left side only can tilt up fully and when set to full close position it only closes half way. Like i said when i checked it the wheel only moves halfway in the track and gets stuck somehow. Here's a picture of how the sunroof looks.

Sounds like the sunroof track is broken, put the glass in tilt. Then take out the plastic covers on both sides (from the inside) and there should be 3 T25 torx bolts on both sides. Remove those and take the glass out from the top. Now you should be able to get a good look at the track from above the car. If it seems like the track is broken your gonna need a new one.
