If I were you I would check to make sure the track is lubed up well every other week. If you google Audi A4 Sunroof Maintenance Grease (or a combination of that phrase) you'll find threads mentioning lubricating the track. You can get to it easiest if you pop the glass off.

I have had a very similar problem with my moon roof. Ever since I first got the car it would prop up just fine, open just fine, but I wouldn't be able to open it half way then try to close it without it stopping then going back. it also wouldn't close back up. Like it was getting stuck once it was all the way back. You think greasing it up would solve that problem as well?
